Five in a Row: Book 1 - Lentil

Our Five in a Row study commenced this year with Robert McCloskey's timeless tale, "Lentil."

We had a few areas of focus, including Patriotism/Community, our 5 senses, and musical instruments. We talked about my daughter's gifts and talents and what onomatopoeia is. We meant to talk more about money. I really liked a 31-page unit study on Lentil I found over at Homeschoolshare.com. Sadly, they don't have them on all the Five In A Row books anymore.

We read:
- "Lentil" by Robert McCloskey
- "My Five Senses" by Aliki
- "Sounds All Around" by Wendy Pffefer

We watched:
 - "The Miracle Worker" - The story of Helen Keller and Annie
- "Helen's Big Dream: The Life of Helen Keller" by  Doreen Rappaport

We worked on memorizing:
- The Pledge of Allegiance using the great tool found in a 31-page Lentil unit study from Homeschoolshare.com.
- The Star Spangled Banner

We did:
- We cooked Lentil Soup and The Girl said it was the best soup she'd ever eaten!

We learned about our place in this world and our own communities by making a little book that talked about our communities from small to global. We put in pictures of our family, state, etc.
This copy work was included in the free Lentil download from Homeschoolshare.com. The copywork was perfect for my just-barely a kindergartner.
