Sonlight Core B (Core 1): Week 7

Hmmm - so I'm not very good at updating our Sonlight hands-on activities! Sorry. Miss Precious, though small, has caused my free time to shrink to almost nothing.

Here's what we did for week 7:

Animals of the World

• Listen to rainforest sounds
• Watch video of Anteaters
• Giant Anteaters mini book
• Walk on our knuckles: Anteaters walk on knuckles
• Try to get candy out of bottle using our tongue. Now try again with straw: Anteaters’ nose allows them to go deep into the ant nest
• Blindfold and look for something by smell: Anteaters find things by smell; eyesight is not good
• Read Soaring with the Wind by Gail Gibbons
• Do Eagles Nest & National Symbols minibooks from HSS

Houses and Homes

• Try handwashing some socks or other items of clothing like the Indian women did.
• Do the Follow thePlan activity
• Read Alphabet City and A Year in the City
• Make our own city
    

Akebu to Zapotec:

• Locate Papua New Guinea on the map. Do minibook
• Talk about how the Elkei people live in the jungle. Color some jungle pics
• Color flag and put on poster
• The country has amazing butterflies. Make a butterfly craft
