Here's a look at J5's Apple Pie notebook. He is a proud kindergartner let me just say! We read and talked about the life cycle of an apple tree. He dictated to me how apple trees grow and added some of his own facts. J5 is excited to tell anyone where he traveled and in or on what! He told me what each of these was and where they were going. More destination cards with dictated labels This is the page of his salt experiment which he dictated to me and then opposite that one is a page where he dictated to me some apple facts and I typed them into StartWrite. I wrote them in yellow again for him to trace (think dotted line letters) but with older students, I have them write out the sentences on their own. More on this method coming up in a HOTM post soon. He asked for the map of Vermont. Our kids love maps. He helped me label it and then colored it. He glued the pictures of the shopping list down and then told me what each of them is. Then he traced my yellow letters. Tried and true method when I'm teaching a student to write. We have some of those apple pie pictures to add in, but over all this unit is tidied up. He has already done the cover page of his next unit: Pumpkins! Stay tuned for more kindergarten news.

Mailing May Week Two: Monday- saliva, vocabulary matching Tuesday- Daniel Boone (we've been reading a Childhood of Famous Americans book about him since last week) Wednesday- life in the 1900s, Daniel Boone mini book, railroad song and book Thursday- What things cost then and now, stamps and money Friday- domestic vs wild animals, wrap up loose ends and notebooking Illustrators can use facial expressions to show the character of a person in the book. R7 tried this out when she drew a picture of her brother and her after he took something from her. We went out on a field trip for the day last Friday so the saliva lesson was on Monday this week. Why saliva? Well because people used to lick stamps, remember? Vocabulary was written and matched on postcards and there are some Idaho facts and its location. I-5 did the lessons as well. He is an expert on the trestle! For the next two weeks we'll be rowing Mailing May. I'm hopeful for a field trip to the post office next week and for some fun studies about trains which the two littlest boys here will find fun. Monday- Idaho, art- before we read look at the book cover and predict the story, review of Daniel Boone (read aloud a story about him), problem solving, and begin our look at trains. Tuesday- alliteration and hyperbole, fictionalizing a true story Wednesday- drawing people to show their character, more trains Thursday- shapes/quilts/pattern block play Friday- saliva Today we colored the quilt to be just like May's and then the kids used the pattern blocks to try and make quilt shapes.

Five in a Row Mini Units (Ages 2-12) The Five in a Row Mini Unit is a digital unit study based on a children’s picture book (like the FIAR units from volumes 1-3). New Mini Units will be published throughout the year. We will announce these new Mini Units for sale on our Facebook page, our FB group page, on our Instagram account @Fiveinarowpublishing, and send out announcements via email from our mailing list. Each mini unit will include a lesson for each of the five subjects that you find in Five in a Row units: Social Studies/Geography, Language, Art, Applied Math, and Science … designed for ages 4-8-years-old and up. There will be specific teaching tips, ideas, suggestions for go-along books for ages 4-8 (and up). There will be a section of suggestions, ideas, go-along books, and or teaching tips for ages 2-4 that will have a Before Five in a Row focus. The Mini Unit will also include a section for Beyond Five in a Row students. Beyond students will enjoy studying the lessons provided for the Five in a Row section but will have two additional lessons that are designed to help older students dig deeper into the FIAR lesson subject matter. There will also be specific ideas, suggestions, and go-along books for ages 8-12. Activity pages that pair with specific lessons will be available at the end of each unit for additional learning opportunities. Color and black and white story disks are included with each Mini Unit for use with some geography lessons and placement on a world or U.S. map.
