Little Hoot ~ Amy Krouse Rosenthal {Virtual Book Club for Kids}

By


I have decided to start participating in the Virtual Book Club for Kids blog hop with Toddler Approved and a host of others. This month we were to read to our children a book written by Amy Krouse Rosenthal. We chose Little Hoot.



Poor Little Hoot. He loves everything, except bedtime! Why? Because his parents make him stay up late, like all the other owls, and he wants to go to bed like all his friends do! One particular night his mom makes him stay up another hour before he can go to bed, so he comes up with a whole bunch of activities to keep him busy.

After reading the book, we did the majority of Little Hoot's activities.

We played swords.



We jumped on the bed.



We went to the park and played on the jungle gym.


We made a fort and played in it, and did some reading with flashlights.



We were going to rake up a pile of leaves and jump in them, but they were soggy wet from the previous night's rain. We did scooter to grandma's for lunch, like we do every Tuesday.

After we got home from lunch we made pine cone owls.


This book came at a good time because we had just gotten back from a long weekend in Oklahoma and really needed a fun, activity-filled day.

Throughout the week, we also read a couple more of Rosenthal's books: Yes Day! and Duck! Rabbit! Brynne loved Duck! Rabbit! and has read it several times this week.

It's not too late to join in on the fun. (In fact, this is my first month.) Next month's author is Tomie de Paola. Grab one of his books, read it, do some activities, and link back with us on the third Monday of next month.


I am also linking up to Read-Aloud Thursday with Amy at Hope is the Word.

    What fun! I love it! You know, I don't think we've ever read a Little Hoot book. Gasp! :-) Looks like we need to remedy that.

    Thanks so much for linking up to RAT!

We all know that in this crazy world of homeschooling, we need all the (adult) support we can get. Please leave a comment if you so wish!

A New Year, the Same Me

By
Happy 2019! It is that day of the year where everybody is up extra early starting their new exercise routine, eating only healthy foods, cracking open the pages of a new planner and Bible study, and debuting their Word for the year. You chuckle or roll your eyes, but you are doing at least three of these things. By the way, so am I. So let's start with the Word of the Year. Mine this year is Lagom. It's the Swedish word for "not too little, not too much, just right". It's a concept of being, doing or having just enough. So let's rewind to last New Year's Day. My Word was Might. And that's how I planned to tackle my year. And, I did. I worked out hard, I mommed hard, I traveled hard, I worked hard. And it was a good season. It prepared the way for this year. I accepted the Challenge I set for myself and succeeded. But, I don't need to keep up that pace. I am at a place in my life where I can kind of sit back and enjoy my life without f...

Science Sunday ~ Hmmm ... Let Me Think About It!

By
This week in our study of the Human Body , Brynne moved on to the Nervous System . Our first stop was a Pamela Hill Nettleton book called, Think, Think, Think: Learning About Your Brain . As part of our discussions about the brain , and the fact that it's the BOSS of the body, we discussed the importance of the spinal cord . We did a hands on spinal cord project by alternating gummy Life Savers and wagon wheel pasta on a pipe cleaner. We talked about why there was the "squishy" stuff in between the vertebra and how the back can bend and sway because of it. We completed "The Brynne" by adding the stomach, small intestine and large intestine, from our study last week of the Digestive System (although I just realized I have the large intestine coming out of the stomach, when the small intestine should be) and the brain and spinal cord. We are now done talking about the parts of the body and will conclude our study of the Human Body with a two-day unit ...
