We broke out our new continent box of Antarctica Friday.

I have a sensory continent card, penguin life cycle chart, penguin 3-part cards, animals of Antarctica, and a Penguin Toob. The kiddos LOVED it! We have lots of winter, snow, and Antarctica books on our display shelf right now.

The girls are proud of their new box and all the goodies! They spread it all out on our new mats (from Walmart), Montessori-style!

We matched penguins to the cards and learned about the different kinds.

We made a rubbing (sort of) out of the sensory card.

Then, Tori and I explored some prepositions with a penguin printable: above, below, beside, on, left, right, etc.

I found this great penguin FFG that I recommissioned as a Build a Sight Word game.

I wrote cold words on the penguin signs and Tori matched up the letters on the other penguins. She loved it.

We played a fun penguin feeding game.

Antarctica is a pretty cool place and we love penguins!

We finally took the plunge and bought Tapestry of Grace, Year 1. We love it! We love how it integrates all subjects and is Biblically based. Elizabeth cannot argue with the assignments list that I print out for her. She gets to help make decisions about what we read, write about, and projects.

Here is Elizabeth making a salt dough map of The Nile River Delta. (Please excuse the kitchen…)

The completed map. She painted it and added props!

She’s finishing up Singapore math 5B and Latina Christiana II.We will soon continue with Singapore 6 and Apologia Science.

We’re transitioning into {gasp!} what society calls Middle School.For me, that means I need to rev up on the writing. High school is just around the corner!

Hello, I was an English teacher in my past life! Praise the Lord that she’s such an advanced reader and has no trouble with spelling or grammar. (She’s just like me and my mom and finds errors in grammar and spelling everywhere…how horrified we are by the atrocious lack of consideration others have for good grammar! It is painful to us.)

Elizabeth has shown quite a jump in maturity these past couple weeks. I am grateful for that, for now I am contemplating military school I’m so stressed out.

Also see this salt dough map of the Nile River Delta. Check out no-bake cookie dough maps and chocolate chip cookie maps.
