We really enjoyed our Wizard of Oz Unit Study.

When I think of Wizards, I immediately think of the Great Oz. The kids and I love that horse in the movie. Check out the meaning of the phrase.

Weren’t there lots of unexpected turns in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz? {You can get all the books on Kindle for almost free!} Kate is already reading the 2nd one!

Of course, the girls and I saw the new Oz the Great and Powerful movie. Opening weekend!

I had loads of fun planning our Oz sensory bin.

Rainbow rice and pasta. Emerald beads in a bucket and bowtie. A wooden rainbow. Oz characters from Grandma and a lion finger puppet.

Oz preschool pack printables.

I downloaded them for Alex. The girls loved it too.

3 part matching cards. Alex is telling me they lost the match to the Cowardly Lion. sigh

We used the puppets to retell the plot and practiced the reading pages.

The kids are all coloring pages for their lapbooks!

Kate and Tori both loved Dorothy and Tori disliked the Wicked Witch. Kate said the Cowardly Lion was annoying and talked too much. ha!

map work: coloring in the state of Kansas and color coding the regions of Oz.

I really love this one!

Paying it forward. Did you know that last Thursday was The Day?

We discussed how Dorothy was so kind and generous. She could have returned home to Kansas at any time had she known how. She wasn’t resentful at all but truly pleased that she helped her friends.

Tori and Kate wrote some ways she could be kind to others. I love this Pay It Forward printable! I also love it that it has a hot air balloon!

Kate said she could give flowers, food, and toys to friends. She could help with cooking.

Tori wrote that she could bake cakes and pick flowers for neighbors and friends, help Dad in the garden, clean up, help with Alex, and doing chores without being asked.

Liz does research on Oz Wikia to compare movies to the book.

I found these awesome stickers of original illustrations! Love Dover!

I’d gotten these fun glasses around Easter. Perfect for Oz play. Emerald goggles!

The girls finish up their lapbooks and notebooking:

Tori is a “cowardly” reader. I gave her “liquid courage” to help. It’s just mango juice with some sweet and sour. I would’ve added some 7Up {‘cause fizzies always help!}, but we’re all out.

    What a cute sensory bin! We just finished The Wizard of Oz, but haven’t read The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (apparently they are different from what I have seen). We’ll have to get the Kindle books and read it!

      Thanks! The Wizard of Oz is the title of the famous movie. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is the 1st book’s title.

    What a vibrant sensory bin! The pay it forward assignment was so touching! The Oz glasses were a fun touch as well! We love the pop up version of The Wizard of Oz by Robert Sabuda.
