School Journal - Angus Lost


We had so much fun this week rowing Angus Lost! We turned it into a pet theme for the week since Betty is more into cats than dogs. But we also found Angus and the Cat at our library too. Super cute books!

For Betty's sensory bin, we made some cat food for her cat. I just let her mix up whatever she wanted of pretzels, goldfish, oyster crackers and cheerios. Thn we set up a scene in her bin with carpet and bowls for food and water (pretend). We got a bed and pillow for her pet and some toys to play with and they were all set.

Making pet food.

I also made a super easy dog house. I thought of the idea in the middle of the night not being able to sleep. Anyway, all you need is a square tissue box, scissors, tape and paint and cardstock for the roof. I cut the box where the tissue comes out for the door. Then I opened up one of the sides that has a seam and cut the long seams to make triangles for the roof gable. Then I painted the outside and then used tape to attach the cardstock roof on. It was so easy and Betty had a lot of fun with all her animals. I should have gotten more pics to do a step-by-step, but it really was easy.
 

She also did some printable from Prekinders and Making Learning Fun. Links below. She loved this cat/dog sort.
We also did a few things from Confessions of a Homeschooler  on I is for Inchworm.
