<\/p>\nI had such a hard time getting through this one!\u00a0 I liked the book, but it seemed like there were more activities AND they were more in depth than before.\u00a0 (I think they are prepping us for the FIAR (Five in a Row) series).\u00a0 But, we are just entering summer and want to gear down, instead of up!\u00a0 I ended up not doing all of the activities.\u00a0 The kids are antsy to begin the next book…<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/strong>\u00a0 Mother kangaroo Katy has no pocket for her joey.\u00a0 She searches for a solution.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bible<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is a story about kindness and generosity.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We looked up Deuteronomy 15:8, “Rather be open handed and freely lend him whatever he needs.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n and,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1 Timothy 6:18, “Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and be generous and willing to share.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We talked about the different times we witnessed kindness in the book:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Science: Animals<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n This book holds a wide variety of animals.\u00a0 We classified: crocodiles, deer, opossum, skunk, raccoon, snails, ostriches, lizards.\u00a0 ‘A’ recognizes all of them.\u00a0 ‘R’ can do about half.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We talked about different ways mother animals care for their young.\u00a0 I asked ‘A’ what I do to take care of him and ‘R’.\u00a0 He replied, “you hug me, you take good love of me, you take us to the doctors, you wash my hair, you draw tattoos on us.”\u00a0 He also added that, “Daddy brought ‘Minus’ (his stuffed dog) home.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I asked ‘R’ the same thing and he replied, “play cars”.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We looked at a world map and talked about the different places\u00a0where\u00a0the\u00a0animals (in the book) live.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Memory<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n We played a memory game.\u00a0 I had ‘A’ study the page that had the man’s tools.\u00a0 I\u00a0said the tool names to the boys and had ‘R’ repeat them and point to them.\u00a0 Then, I took the book away and had ‘A’ remember the tools.\u00a0 There were nine tools in all.\u00a0 Of those, ‘A’ remembered: wrench, pliers, ruler, saw, hammer, and nails.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I then did the same with the page with the animals in Katy’s apron pockets.\u00a0 There were 13 animals in all.\u00a0 Of those, ‘A’ remembered: turtle, snail, frog, monkey, rabbit, opossum, skunk, squirrel.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kindness and Gratitude<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n We talked about how being kind and grateful helps make the world a nicer place to live.\u00a0 We also talked about how not everyone responds this way at all times, but when we are polite, our world is more pleasant.\u00a0 We then practiced saying ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ with different scenarios.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Social Studies<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n We compared the difference between the city and the country.\u00a0 We talked about buildings, people, and animals we might see at each place.\u00a0 We also studies the city page in the book and looked at items you might not see in the country.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Numbers<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n We went through each page and counted the animals on each page.\u00a0 I also introduced the concept of counting by 2’s.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I had such a hard time getting through this
