Groundhog Printables

Groundhog Day - February 2nd.

We don't do Groundhog Day here in Australia, BUT I thought that I could still read a beautiful non-fiction book on Woodchucks on Feb. 2nd.

A living book on the life cycle of a Woodchuck:

Easy to read, informative, engaging.

One of my very favorite books from my shelves.  I can't wait for Feb. 2nd.

For those that do: I have 2 different files for you.  One is a day pack and the other is some writing paper.

You'll have to click on the samples separately to download them.

and

And today I'm linking up with:

 

I hope you will join us.

Project 365

 

Well, I decided to do a mid week update on Project 365.  I just felt that doing 7 things in one post was a lot.  Especially since I wanted to add quite a few photos.

 

20 - Bear

 

I read this book:

 

Then I read this book.



 

With beautiful pictures and simple text.

 

 



 

Then we did a little paper craft.

 

This one was done by Hannah.

 

 

This one by myself.  Yep, nothing wrong with having a second childhood.  Besides, Chloe was still too ill to make one.

 

This one was done by Phebe.

 

Then I made each girl a simple calendar book and used them as the covers.  I got the calendar pages online for free.  There are a number of free calendar booklets available these days.



 

Chloe is probably a bit too old for it, but oh well, Phebe and Hannah should get quite a lot out of them.

 

 

I had planned for the girls to do a little writing, but it didn't happen.  Here's what I was going to use.  Just click the picture if you want a copy.  :o)

21 - Henry VIII

Don't forget to check out the youtube video I posted of Henry VIII the other day.

These coloring pages came from HERE.

 

For some reason Phebe didn't want to put her Henry in her history book, she wanted to put him on a stick on the fridge.

 Even Hannah did one too.

Project 365

Last week I introduced my latest project, 'Project 365'.  Here's how we went:

December 2012

13 - Insects

I read this book.





Then we did these:

 





If you'd like a copy of them just click the folowing picture.

and for the other worksheets click this one:

14 - Oliver Cromwell

We put him on a little 3 x 5 card.  Wow, ummmmm there's quite a bit more to this man than just banning christmas, and it isn't all good I'm afraid. 

 

15 - Repent

We put this on a little 3 x 5 card too.

 

 

 

 

16 - Psalm 23:6

Yep, another card.

 



17 - Francis Drake

He also made it to a 3 x 5 card, AND we went looking for some fun stuff on youtube in Horrible Histories as well.

Don't forget to check out last weeks Horrible Histories youtube clip I posted on the Spanish Armada.

 

18 - Wolf

I read this book.

 

Then we did these:

 

 

This one is Hannahs - 3y8m

 

Phebe - 5





 

Chloe was sick today - so no work from her.  She did listen to the story though. :o)

 

Then late in the afternoon I thought I'd try and make a craft.

 

 

Phebe was the only child to do a WOLF craft.  She added legs to hers.





 

 

If you'd like a copy of the notetaking pages just click the following picture.

 

19 - Volcano

I read from this book.

 



 

Then we did these:

 



 



 

Chloe also did one, but was a bit late for photos.

Wow, and if you got through ALL that you are a STAR~!!

So, what do you think of my Project 365?  Would you like to join in?  I have the remainder of December and January lists already to go up there on the top bar under 'Project 365'.

Should I divide the days up a bit?  Was this post TOO much?

I'll be back next Thursday with another weeks show and tell.  Or maybe sooner, because "I" think the post was a bit long myself.  :o)

Project 365

I've got a new PAGE here on the blog.  The tab for it is up on the top there - on the far right.

Project 365

I've got this crazy idea.

Can you be crazy with me?

How about every day we have a new topic to explore, read about, notebook, make memory cards for, color, draw, and stuff like that?

Sunday - Memory Verse

Monday - History

Tuesday - Animal

Wednesday - Science

Thursday - Animal

Friday - History

Saturday - Commands of Christ

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Got suggestions?  Got topics?

Look for my first post with show and tell next week.

Look at each topic for 5 mins or 5 hours, any way you like.  Whatever works for you.
