My Father's World: Unit 15 Elephant

MFW: Unit 15 Elephant 

I WILL REMEMBER WHAT GOD HAS DONE FOR ME.

Our letter Ee treasures

Looking over the treasures she helped find and explaining each item.

BOOKS



Some of the wonderful books we read for our elephant unit.



Such a great book with a wonderful lesson for everyone of all ages.  Teaching us to not only just give advice to our friends to help our friends.  Sometimes giving advice is not the only thing our friends need.



Some more wonderful books we read for this unit.

WORKSHEETS

Working on her handwriting and tracing lines.



Writing the missing letter for each word and then working on her word search.



Working on some more writing, identifying pictures that start with the letter Ee, reading, and connecting the dots (1-30).



Finished her worksheets of reading, drawing, story, and her blend ladder.

MATH

Forming 314 with her Math U See manipulatives.

Placing the 10s in the correct order and then identifying the numbers.

Putting the popsicle sticks in order, we use these for our 100 count.  Add a new number each day.  Today we were working on numbers 1-20.



Working on recognizing the numbers by 10s.



She was very excited to complete her Math U See worksheet without any help and correctly.  We had actually done this lesson last week, but I felt that she didn't understand or grasp it last week so we are redoing it again this week.  I'm so proud that she finally understands it.  The other picture she is working on numbers 21-40.

ARTS AND CRAFT



Once we were done with the movie we made our own Noah's Ark.



I drew a picture of an elephant for Kanani to decorate however she wanted.  She decided all she wanted to do was color it 3 different colors: blue, pink, and silver.  Such a beautiful colorful elephant.



After reading the story "Elmer by David McKee" the kids colored in their little Elmer elephant, and then asked them what makes them one of a kind.  Got this cute idea from Tunstalltimes Blog.



When we finished the story of "Horton hears a Who! by Dr. Seuss" we made our own Horton handprint with the quote "A person's a person no matter how small!".  



She really enjoyed her elephant puppet and elephant mask she made.



We finished the unit talking about the best love in the world, Jesus dying on the cross for our sins.

John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.  

She finished doing this beautiful sun catcher.  Can't wait to put it on the window and see the sun shine through it.  

ACTIVITIES/GAMES

Placed 4 of our grow capsules in water hoping to get an elephant, Kanani guessed which one it would be and she was correct.

Reviewed all of our memory versus using our unit puppets.  Out of 15 she got 13 correctly, she has worked so hard to try to memorize each one.  So proud of all her hard work, she's really enjoying these puppets.



Working on her elephant puzzle.

Discussed the story about Noah's Ark.  It's always a great to review what we have learned before.  Love how she remembers all the details of this wonderful story of the bible.  

Kanani then started to work on her puzzle of Noah's Ark after she was done with her craft.



Enjoyed a great game of animal dominoes.

SCIENCE



Identifying some of the elephant's body parts.  

MOVIES/VIDEOS



After reading and discussing the story of Noah's Ark we watched the wonderful movie of "Veggie Tales Noah's Ark".

Trust God and he's plan, because when God says he'll do something he'll do it.  For God knows what's best.  

Psalm 33:4


For the word of the Lord is right and true; He is faithful in all he does.

Can't finish elephant unit without watching the Disney movie "Dumbo", such a heart warming movie.

SPANISH

elefante (elephant)

MEMORY VERSUS

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
~Romans 5:8~

POEM

AT THE ZOO
     By: A.A. Milne

There are lions and roaring tigers, and enormous camels and things, 
There are buffalo, buffalo, bisons, and a great big bear with wings.
There's a sort of tiny potamus, and a tiny nosserus too.
But I gave buns to the elephant when I went down to the zoo!

There are badgers and bidgers and bodgers, and a Superintendent's house, 
There are masses of goats, and a polar, and different kinds of mouse.
And I think there's a sort of something which is call a wallaboo-O.
But I gave buns to the elephant when I went down to the zoo!

If you try to talk to the bison, he never quite understands.
You can't shake hands with a mingo-he doesn't like shaking hands.
And lions and roaring tigers hate saying. How do you do?
But I gave buns to the elephant when I go down to the zoo!

CLASSICAL MUSIC 

Bach: Brandenburg Concerto no. 4 in G Minor (II. Andante)

Elephants are such magnificent animals.  They are gentle giants of the world.  Love everything about them, one of Kanani's favorite animals and my beautiful grandmother's.  My grandmother believes if you face the elephant backward (their face facing the wall) it will bring good luck.  She collects them and has them all facing the wall.  

Hope you enjoy our elephant unit. 

GOD BLESS!!

GOD'S WORD HELPS ME GROW.



Some of our finds for the letter Cc

BOOKS



Some great book we read for this unit.

WORKSHEETS



We had so much going on when we did the previous unit (Goat Unit) that we had to finish the worksheets this week.  



Once we finished last weeks worksheets we started on this weeks.  



Working on her writing and color recognition.



Doing her cut and paste worksheets and reading.



Working on her cusienaire rods, identifying the letter Cc pictures, and practicing her letter Cc using the gel bag I made for her.

MATH



In Math U See this week she started learning skipping by 2.  I was so shocked that she quickly learned to skip count on the first day.  Thought this was something we were going to have to do for a couple of weeks. But to my surprised, which I should know better, she learned it quickly.



Completing her math worksheet, counting cows.



Completed her cut and paste sentence worksheet and then drew some animals that went with the letters Cc, Aa, and Gg.

ARTS & CRAFTS



Cut out some shapes for Kanani and she glued the pieces to make a cow.  Then I drew a picture of a cow without the horns, spots, hooves, and tail for her to draw it on.



Gave Kanani some farm stickers for her to make her little farm.  She loved this craft that she ended up making 3 other farms.



Made a couple of circles to form a caterpillar and on the body I wrote a letter that would spell out our last name.  We have been working on learning to spell our last name since she has already mastered her first and middle name.



Cut out some pieces to make a cow out of paper plate.  Kanani then glued them to the plate to form her cow.  I wrote the versus of the week on the bottom and now she has it hanging in the living room.  She then taped the cow badge and the horse badge (our next unit) on the wall.  

ACTIVITIES/GAMES



After reading the cute little box of "If you give a mouse a cookie" we played the game that came with the book.  Can't remember where we got the book from, it came in a kids meal.  



Scrambled the blocks for Kanani to put the picture of the cow and pig together.



Some lace and trace fun 



Our cute little cow xylophone went great with this unit.  Dartaninan has a little cow that when he presses the yellow button on top will roll and moo.  



We all love the nursery rhyme Hey, Diddle, Diddle.  The kids know the rhyme by heart.  Such a cute rhyme, glad we had two books with the rhyme in it.

SCIENCE



Went to our local Children's Museum, they have a farm section where the kids enjoyed milking the cow, collecting eggs and crops.  Learned the different sounds the farm animals made and what were some of the equipments on the farm and their purpose on the farm.



Looked around the kitchen for some items that had milk in them.  We all love milk, chocolate milk.  MILK DOES THE BODY GOOD!

MOVIES/VIDEOS



Watched Word World since it has all the farm animals and helps with building and sounding out words.  Great shows, my kids love it. 


SPANISH 

vaca (cow)

MEMORY VERSUS 

Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.  
~1 Peter 2:2-3~

POEM

THE PURPLE COW
   By: Gelett Burgess

I never saw a purple cow, 
I never hope to see one, 
But I can tell you anyhow,
I'd rather see than be one!

CLASSICAL MUSIC 

Vivaldi: Violin Concerto no.1 in G Minor (III. Allegro)
Not shown in the pictures but had Kanani taste several different types of cheese.  We loved some and dislike others, but in all most were really good.  

Hope you enjoy our cow unit!

GOD BLESS!!
