This week Cedrik learned about the ocean and continents. The first picture is from Monday. We went to the depot after naps because we had been in the car the whole morning driving home from UT. It is open to the public on Mondays so we got to go inside the station and look at the display. They thought it was pretty neat.
I made up a little chant to learn the ocean names (which he now knows). The continents were a little tougher to learn. We had books and discussed/colored animals that corresponded with each one. Although, for Europe, he colored a castle instead of an animal because he mentioned castles one day and Europe followed the next day so it fit better than a....horse? I don't even really know what animal Europe is known for. Anyway...
He got to paint his hand which was probably the highlight of the week. We jumped like kangaroos (they jumped I bopped my head) to a catchy kangaroo song. We watched a kangaroo being born and learned their call. We danced like moose to a random song about a moose named Fred who drank juice and also learned their call. We stomped like elephants and in the photo you will see Cedrik and Jordan riding elephants before dinner. :) We also waddled like penguins to another song. I love YouTube.
You can also see Freddie's art wall. It has less, but some things I just toss because he colors now almost every day...something he insists on. :)
Those elephant prints are darling.
