This week for homeschool our unit was on this book. It is a book about a little girl whose father goes off to fight during World War II. We had lots of fun this week with lots of neat activities. Here are a few of the things we learned:
We learned about a first person point of view, we studied a little geography, we learned about tubas and sycamore trees, we studied some new vocab, we learned about forshadowing, and about times of war in history.
We also learned about:
*Illustration mediums and did some watercoloring (like the illustraions in this book).
*We did some science and history learning about horizons and myths. (Is the world round or flat?)
*We learned about viewpoints in art and did some drawings to practice what we learned.

E finds lots of ways to entertain herself while we do school. Here she hijacked the camera and hid in her hiding place under the kitchen table and got a picture of me doing reading with H.
