Five in a Row

14 Mar

We have just started to read Harold and the Purple Crayon as part of our Five in a Row curriculum.  I love to start our new studies off with a celebratory bang!  Clark and Luci actually had the idea of having a picnic of just pies, just like Harold did in the story.  It ended up raining on our picnic day, but that didn’t stop us from making tons of pies for dinner! What better way to have a happy Pi{e} Day?! Happy Pi{e} Day! Best part?  The date is March 14th – 3.14!  Pi{e} Day!  Gotta love a great coincidence! As usual, I think these kids came...

Despite being in the middle of winter, here, we started rowing our Five in a Row book, Very Last First Time on a day in January when the temperature was 75 degrees!  Clark and Luci have been longing for snow, so I thought this book would be a great start.  Or at least we can pretend! Book Review This story is about a young Inuit girl, Eva, who goes alone under the ice to hunt mussels on the sea floor.  She is very excited about the adventure but loses track of time.  She is then faced with the fear of not getting out from...

Clark and Luci love painting.  So how do I make it even more special and exciting?  Add a little glitter, of course!  While working on our art project today, we added a couple of extra ingredients to create glittering, crystallized watercolor paints.  Everything’s better with glitter, right? Well, unless you’re the one who’s cleaning it up. We found a super-easy way to make watercolor paints crystallize and shine in the light!  This is so cool and so simple!  There’s no need to go out and buy anything – we made it with ingredients from around the house! Here’s what you will need: 1 tablespoon of Epsom...

As part of the science component in our study of the book Very Last First Time, we decided to look at some of the properties of salt water.  Our first experiment was to look at how evaporation would separate salt water. Salt Water Evaporation Experiment This super simple salt water evaporation experiment is a very basic experiment, but I wanted to introduce the Scientific Method right from the beginning.  We started very basically; I figured it was probably age-appropriate to cut out the research step.  I did a short search but didn’t come up with exactly what I was looking for, so I created my own form:  “My...

We are reading Very Last First Time for our Five in a Row study. The story takes place in an Inuit village in northern Canada. As we read the story Clark and Luci became fascinated with igloos and wanted to build one. This tends to very difficult when you live in Texas and the temperatures are a ridiculously warm 75° in January! So, very logically, we decided that we would figure out how to build an igloo with marshmallows.  I didn’t get much objection from Clark and Luci either. What You’ll Need: I suggest using whatever is around your...

We are currently reading the book Very Last First Time for our Five in a Row curriculum.  The story is about an Inuit girl who faces an incredible challenge alone for the first time.  The story takes place in Ungava Bay, Canada, so we have been learning about Northern Canada.  Clark and Luci have been especially interested in the Inuit people and their culture.  As we have learned about it, we found an Inuit girl craft with coffee filters that looked like it would be fun to make. What You’ll Need Clark noticed that in practically all of the pictures and videos that we...
