This week we returned to a bit more of our normal life weekly life after a six-week hiatus to include our northeast trip, Christmas (and stomach flu), family visit, and Daddy's absence. Among other things we got back into our Five in a Row reading routine, this week focusing on Virginia Lee Burton's Katy and the Big Snow. Fitting since New England is getting dumped on just now so there's lot of talk of snowfall.
One thing we "studied" in the book was street signs, and now that the monkey is becoming a proficient little reader it was apt because he has been noticing and reading street signs regularly when we're in the car. We made our own street signs, and he elected to create quite an elaborate one about an icy road:
Also in the book there are some compasses that we discussed at length and several maps of the city, so we've been doing some compass and direction work and created a little directionally-accurate map of our neighborhood (Daddy is particularly helpful in this vein):
Fun projects!
