This was a cold month here in NY...lots of snow and cold temps. The snow and temps kept us at home more than we would like.
Animal of the Month for January - Polar Bears: I learned a lot as well as the kids.
Did you know that Polar Bears have webbed feet ...or that their skin is actually black and fur is clear little hollow tubes for captured the sun.... We hit the jack pot when we found a movie on Nat Geo about Polar Bears that I taped so we had a movie time for school one day with popcorn!
State of the Month for January: Washington State - Did you know that they have a Volcano? (I did but obviously the kids were excited about that!)
Math & Science - Zachary worked on three digit subtraction with borrowing and addition with carrying. We also started our 4 month long learning adventure of measurements. Molly worked on measurements also. Helping sew and bake were big eye openers for the kids with regards to measurements. Also the Polar Bear work was part of Science.
Reading - keeping in line with our Polar Bear theme, I signed out a book in the Magic Tree House Series from our local library called: Polar Bears Past Bedtime. It's his 1st chapter book and he is loving it.
Art - lots to do with Polar Bears and Snowmen...had a fun time with Art in January. We also dedicated an entire day to Playdoh!
Sign Language - we are up to the letter "R" this week. Also learned "friend" in ASL.
History - Martlin Luther King Jr Day gave us a few days of history as well as learning about Washington State.
FUN STUFF: We celebrated National Popcorn Day, Winnie The Pooh Day and baked alot!
Next Month - Groundhogs, Pennsylvania, Valentines Day Party, Chinese New Year, Presidents Day and more!
Hope you all had a great January!

Thanks for linking up to The HSV
Have a blessed day!
My girls enjoy Play-Doh too---both got great Play-Doh sets for Christmas. They come out often, and I don't complain anymore (as long as they stay in the kitchen)!
