Homeschooling Week #6

This week we are studying If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Numeroff. 
We have lots of cute things planned to go with this book.


Literature: 
We will be reading Laura Numeroff's book and talking about cause and effect. Noah is just beginning to understand concepts like this, so it should be a great discussion starter!


Science & Handicrafts:
We will be making cookies!
Noah will get to practice measuring and mixing. He will also get to watch the cookies bake. This should be a lot of fun. Lessons in the kitchen are great because you're learning when you don't think you are.

Math:
We will be playing a cookie number match game from Busy Little Bugs, pictured to the right.
It's a printable and I think Noah will really enjoy it. He's getting so good at counting!

Bible:
This week we are talking about Jonah! Jonah is another story of cause and effect, because Jonah learns the effects of not listening to God when he refuses to go to Ninevah.
Jonah's story will also serve as extra practice for Noah's current CM habit: obedience.  
We're going to read the bible story and watch the Veggie Tales "Jonah" movie.

Art & Music:
We will be learning the song "Second Chances" from the Jonah movie. Noah is doing a great job with memorizing lyrics! I love hearing his little voice in song.

We're also going to make our own whale!  I found this cute craft at 
Crafty Morning.  We will be using our milk jug whale to scoop up little people in the bath tub (or maybe the baby pool if it's warm enough!). It will be fun hands on practice of exactly what happened to Jonah. For added fun, maybe we will scoop up our Veggie Tales figures too!
