I'm a bit late posting these pictures of our unit study on 'The Bee Tree' but here they are.We spent just over 2 weeks with this book as we were in Spain for some of the time
.Here are the vocabulary flap books that Sam made by writing the word on the top and inside he stuck pictures which we got from HSS.He also did some fingerprint bees to decorate this page and stuck in some images.
I printed out a few quizzes about bees which Sam completed (one is on the page underneath 'the life cycle of a bee' circle),and he learned about hexagons.
For geography we found Michagan on the map and also observed that as the state bird is the Robin and state flower Apple Blossom that the climate must be very similar to here as both are native to here also.Sam also colored Canada's flag which he knows well as he is abig maple syrup fan!
We also learned about the Klondike gold rush,the Yukon and gold in general.I added a page on the Klondike gold rush to our timeline notebook.
Finally we read and talked about the Pslam from HSS,identified and painted string instruments, and on the theme of hospitality; invited Granny to a Honey Tea Party, complete with baking powder biscuits,an assortment of honey,banana pops(to dip in honey)orange honey butter and camomile,honey and vanilla tea!Yummy!
The children also LOVED making beeswax candles (which we burned at the tea party)as the did doing a treasure hunt which dh and I set up for them in Spain.
