We went out on a field trip for the day last Friday so the saliva lesson was on Monday this week. Why saliva? Well because people used to lick stamps, remember?
Vocabulary was written and matched on postcards and there are some Idaho facts and its location.
I-5 did the lessons as well. He is an expert on the trestle!- Monday- Idaho, art- before we read look at the book cover and predict the story, review of Daniel Boone (read aloud a story about him), problem solving, and begin our look at trains.
- Tuesday- alliteration and hyperbole, fictionalizing a true story
- Wednesday- drawing people to show their character, more trains
- Thursday- shapes/quilts/pattern block play
- Friday- saliva
Today we colored the quilt to be just like May's and then the kids used the pattern blocks to try and make quilt shapes.

Oh Ami I feel terrible! I usually post where some of those excellent notebooking materials come from and I left that out this time.
Thanks for your hard work over there and I'll make sure when I use stuff from HSS that I link it.
Where was my head this time?
