Finished Rowing Harold

We finished up with Harold and the Purple Crayon today. We reviewed compound words. Mane listened for them and wrote them down as we read the story. We talked about puns and wrote those down, too. Then we took ourselves on over to youtube.com and watched videos about how crayons are made! Mane printed a page from pbskids.com about crayon-making and added it to her school notebook. Finally, we reviewed the moon phases (from earlier in the year when we rowed Owl Moon ), and Mane wrote down the moon phase that we see in Harold and the Purple Crayon next to a copy of one of the pages from the book in her school notebook.

Mane continued lesson 17 from Math U See, and she read Pug's Hugs and Click, Click by Dr. Maggie. Her reading seemed much more smooth today.

Mane got out her drawing book on her own and drew a panda bear. It's amazing the way she can follow the instructions in the "how to draw" books. She got the animal one last Christmas from Grandma & Grandpa, and it has provided hours upon hours of entertainment.
