Week 19 MFW Adventures: Wool and State Studies

Week 19

The Lamb of God
(name of God)


We took some time reading about how Jesus is the lamb of God this week. We were able to create, read and explore this topic fully this week, too, which was a huge blessing for our learning.

We read one of our favorite books A New Coat for Anna.


We also went on a sheep and wool field trip to one of our favorite local farms
Remick Country Doctor Museum and Farm










We learned so much about the whole process of sheep to wool.

After the field trip we came back to our schoolroom to create the lamb handprint from our lessons with the wool we were allowed to keep from field trip.



I love that no matter what I give them for an activity, they always create them uniquely. They are never the same and I love how I can see their own unique personalities in their work.

Pioneers on the Ohio River/Ohio

We continued reading from one of our favorite books this year, American Pioneers and Patriots, including learning a little about pioneer schools.

We used our Adventures student sheets to create our very own
New England Primers



We completed our Ohio page while drinking some tomato juice, since it is their state drink!



and we read Lentil (from the book basket list) which takes place in Ohio.





We also read about Johnny Appleseed and completed this fact and legend activity.
The girls really enjoyed this interactive color, cut, and glue notebooking.



Animals

We studied about animals this week. It was just an overview, but  the animal memory game was a huge hit. It was fun to learn and play at the same time.


We pulled out some animal flashcards from our homeschool closet and had these girls read them to our little tag-a-longs.

These moments captured just makes my heart explode. This is homeschooling. This is life. This is joy.


If you are interested in these Pretty Studio Flash Cards, you can find them here.


It was a full week. A wild one. A great one.
