Sonlight Core B (Core 1): Week 5

We're having so much fun in our Sonlight journey! One of the most successful aspects of my pre-planning has definitely been the Notebooking pages. The girls love their notebooks and love adding to it each week. Soon I'll do a post about Sonlight Notebooking and how we've implemented it. Now here's the extras for Week 5:

Houses & Homes:

• Try to do some school using walkie-talkies, just like farm kids in Australian outback
• Watch Farm Dog Martha
• Have other farm books to look at, as well as activities from theNC Dept. of Agriculture Coloring Book
• Use wikistix to build reed house frame, then do some paper weaving to make the walls.
• Look through The Ultimate Building Book together and find a project or two to tackle next week.

World of Animals:

• Animal Match game
• Read I See a Kookabura
• Do the “Animal Cracker” biome project
• Read Will We Miss Them?

Before sharing the extras we're doing with Homer Price, I've got to give credit to where credit is due. I got my ideas from a very creative homeschool mom who posted them on her blog as part of their FIAR study. Check out her full list of Homer Price activities.

• Find Ohio on the map.
• After reading, come up with our own “spoonerisms”
• WatchThe Case of the Cosmic Comet
• Watch /span>Donut Making video and this Krispy Kreme video
• Either make some donuts or go buy some!
• Take a field trip to a donut shop and learn how they make these tasty treats!
