Homeschool - Unit Three: Halloween




Olivia made scarecrow crafts with kits from the library.  







Nolan practiced nouns, adjectives, and verbs with words related to spiders.  


How do spiders keep from sticking to their own webs?  They actually secrete an oil that helps prevent them from sticking.  We did an experiment with tape and vegetable oil to show how the oil makes your finger slide along the web instead of sticking to it!


We made these adorable Halloween crafts with supplies from our library.  We had so much fun  painting the canvas tiles.   We plan on using all of these to decorate for our party on Saturday.



Olivia and I made chocolate chip cookies.  She knows if she helps me, she gets to eat chocolate chips and cookie dough.  She is ALWAYS up for making cookies.  



 

Olivia keeps progressing with her Level A books.  She is getting very good at her sight words!  She keeps practicing with writing them, too.  She is also working hard on writing her numbers and lowercase letters.


Nolan wrote a paragraph about what would happen if he went to a haunted  house.  He had fun doing this.  It is always neat to see his personality come through in his writing.



The kids LOVED doing these Mad Libs.  They laughed SO hard.




We talked about spiders and learned the different parts of a spider's body.  


We brainstormed different things we would see, hear, and feel instead a haunted house.  They drew their own  haunted houses later that day.


Olivia painted this super cool spider web for a decoration for our Halloween party.
