Last Monday We started a unit study on ants/aunts. We used a book called trumans Aunt farm.
So we started by putting together our ant farm. And going outside and catching about 10-15 ants, by putting a cracker on the sidewalk and dumping them in. By evening we could see tunnels forming! On Tuesday we made fingerprint ants, and looked up info on ants and Aunts. We put some info about ants in our lapbooks as well. On Wed. it was our library day. So we had fun at the story hour and picked up a few more books on (of course) ants. On Thursday everybody had dentist appointments so we were in Rockford. Abby had some dental work to get finished up from the week before, Em. had to have a couple cavities filled, and an impacted tooth extracted. Lily who was done the week before went along to get a toy at the toystore. LOL! She now has beautiful white teeth in the front and not sign of decay any longer. Then Olivia just needed a cleaning and xrays. She did not have any cavities, so they put sealant on her teeth, and pulled a baby tooth because the permanent tooth was coming in behind it, and so by pulling the baby tooth we hope it will allow the permanent tooth to move up a bit. Then there was Jessica. She a cavity and then we found out she needed a root canal in another tooth!! A WHAT!! Well she went back in this past Tuesday the 24th, and had a filling put in and then instead of root canal I had the dentist pull the bad tooth! She has been hurting a lot ever since, but it is getting better.
Now that brings us to Wednesday again. We finished up our unit on ants by making ant hills on paper with fingerpaints. I don't have pics of them as I was in our little house and I forgot my camera. Thursday we went to the Library to the summer reading program. Discovery Center was there doing several games with the children. My little ones were a little bit disappointed because they weren't as fun as the games were lastyear........oh well. We ended our ant unit by making "ant cake".
Friday we had to get out of the house by 8:30 to take Emily to work, and get the grocery shopping done. We hit the store at about 9:15 and got our two weeks worth of groceries, and supplies. Finally we were done, and home again at 11:30. I did not get the groceries all put away until 1pm. WHEW!!! Was that a workout!
Then at 3 we had to pick Emily up at work. We walked around the library a few minutes and picked up some books on tape for the little ones to listen to. Tonight we will enjoy a nice hot pizza and a couple videos. Mouse Hunt and Finding Nemo. This concludes our week. I hope yours was great!
Until next time.
