Here we are, continuing our journey of great literature with Five in a Row! This week we dove deep into the classic Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown! We have always loved this book and it was so much fun to learn more about it and apply fun learning to the themes of this book!
One of my favorite parts about doing Five in a Row together with our boys at this age is that it is truly involving them in learning all together. Our oldest son (5 1/2 years old) simply adores reading the books to his brothers and I think they really like when he is the one reading to them!
Then came fun learning activities from Homeschool Creations Literature Based Printables! We worked on learning what pairs of socks or mittens meant and sorting them from singles to pairs. We also counted stars and labeled them with the correct numbers. Our oldest son loved working on rhyming words from the book and also making up silly rhyming words of his own!
We also received a fantastic collection of Usborne books after I hosted a Facebook party earlier this month so we dove into the Big Book of Stars & Planets to learn more about the Moon and more! I cannot tell you how much we are loving these books, especially the Big Book collection which has fantastic graphics and interesting facts!
Since we were learning so much about the moon we also pulled out another one of our favorite books Happy Birthday, Moon by Frank Asch. We love this book and learning about using our imagination! We also did a fun craft of painting moons, with craters using water bottle lids!
For a little lesson with Religion we studied the Creation Story including when God made the difference of day and night! We read Gensis 1:14-19 and made a fun craft with all of the different days of Creation and used our Counting on Faith Book that helps us learn to count a lot of great different aspects of the Faith including days of Creation!
