A New Week A New Theme

For all resource links please check out the entry “Saint Patrick’s Day Resources“.

March 4-5

With the Platypus behind us and Dr. Seuss well celebrated it is time to move onto the next series of themes… World Book Day is the 7th and we are starting to create the pieces for our St. Patrick’s Day poster (17th). With all the resources and options out there for the green themed day I am going to make a specific resource page separate from the weekly entries like I have been doing lately with other subjects.

Because of our busy weekend and the ending of TWO major projects in such great time I decided that we would spend the bulk of our time on Wild Kratts episodes. We got a DVD set from the library and the boys completed FOUR animals!

Crocodile… a surprisingly AMAZING mother!

The beaver… reminiscent of my education in Canada as a child!

Common worm… kinda cool!

Bass

Trinity and Echo have found the joy in playing dress up. I have started our collection of things, old Halloween costumes etc… that is where the crowns will live once the novelty wears off!

Dressed up

Their afternoon was a MINECRAFT afternoon… Minimal arguments and lots of creativity.

Tuesday was a definite snow morning. While not a full out raging storm snow just keeps coming down. Enough that over where the Novaks live it was a snow day, so too bad a weather for Darcy and Aidan to come collect the snow pants that accidentally came home with us Sunday night. Perfect weather for the twins to be in charge of shoveling at least the walk and some of the driveway.

Hard at work

We had a book from NetGalley to review – A Promise is a Promise by Robert Munsch. An absolute favourite Canadian author of ours. You can read the kids’ thoughts on it HERE.

We started our St. Patrick’s Day themed books on Tuesday… Shannon and the World’s Tallest Leprechaun by Sean Callahan.

And… St. Patrick’s Day by Mari. C. Schuh.

Getting into the festive spirit

We have started our worksheets and crafty bits as well. I will go back and link my resources at the top of this blog. If you want a specific link before I do that please feel free to contact me!

Not so physical treasures

Leprechaun paper dolls… I was surprised at how… curvy… the girl was!

So we have started our green phase… I am actually enjoying my hunt for resources. Making these separate blog entries and having it all organized just feels GOOD!

Big smiles and blue eyes
