A New Path to Follow: Blueberries for Sal {BFIAR}

Sunday, August 31, 2014

This week, Britton and I spent time reading Blueberries for Sal By Robert McCloskey. This book is such fun book to read through with your children. I loved watching Britton's face while he was experiencing the book for the first time. He was so worried when little Sal met up with the Mama bear!

Lapbook

Britton spent a few days working on parts of the lapbook from Homeschool Creations. He worked on tracing words from the story, sounding out words from the story, and tracing. I know I have said it before, but I love the lapbooks from Homeschool Creations!

All About Blueberries

We read a couple other fun books on berries and also learned how blueberries grow. Britton made a blueberry bush out of construction paper for his art project.

Bears

We read a book on brown bears and talked about how bears hibernate in the winter. Britton did a fun math game. He had to roll a dice and then count out the gummy bears to put them in the cave for the winter. Of course, he had to have a few gummy bears too. He also made a cute hibernating bear craft.

Pies

I found a cute story at the library about pies, so we decided to make a few of our own blueberry pies. The first blueberry pie was our practice pie made out of play dough. Britton loved this! He even baked it in his oven. Then, we made our own real blueberry pie. So much fun.

I am so thankful for finding Before Five in a Row. This curriculum has made some of our very best homeschooling moments. I love spending the one on one time with Britton each day, reading our stories together.

Up next, Ask Mr. Bear.
