Homeschool Corner

We took a small break last week and now we are back! We are still in our Rainforest unit, and the girls are loving it. We have added three animals to our Rainforest. On Tuesday we learned about birds, specifically the Toucan and the Macaw. Abby Grace also reviewed writing her letters R and T. She is doing so well writing her letters.

On Wednesday, we added the Boa Constrictor to our Rainforest. Abby Grace already knew quite a bit about the Boa Constrictor. She proceeded to tell me that it is smaller than the Anaconda; it squeezed other animals so it can eat; and that it did not chew its food but, swallowed it whole. Thank you, Man vs Wild and Daddy!

Reese told us that snakes make a "hiss" sound. She also thought it was really funny when Abby Grace dropped to the ground and "slithered" just like a snake. (She did a good job, but it really brought on images of her Daddy doing the Worm).

Abby Grace can name all of the layers in the Rainforest by name, and in order from top layer to bottom layer. She can also describe the details of each layer.
