This is a belated Friday post. It has been busy here at the Academy headquarters! We practiced our writing by making a welcome home poster for Avery. We made patterns with the letters, and wrote a whole sentence: "This is a heart."
In a frightening twist on history, pirates found the Mayflower and built a big wall in the ocean so the Pilgrims (and one confused Native American) could not get off when they found the new world.
One of Lucy's workboxes told her to go find something that started with H. After lots of thinking, she chose Horsey lovie. Good choice.
We are learning about magnets now. Today, we had some free exploration time. Here, Zoe sees how many discs her magnet can hold at once.
Zoe has been wanting to make handprint turkeys. i think the tailfeathers add a subtle touch. We also did a draw and write about what we are thankful for. Zoe is thankful for everything and Lucy is thankful for her pink Christmas tree, animal toys, Sawyer, and her family.
Zoe and I made a survey asking what people's favorite Thanksgiving food is. As our family arrived, she asked each person what their favorite was, read them their choices, and marked their answer. She did a great job! Emmy and Grana persisted in picking more than one favorite, but Zoe insisted they had to pick one!
After Zoe collected her data, her daddy thought it was time to learn how to graph in Excel. He was a little bug-eyed at the end of the project.
Here is the final report: Stuffing wins, with 7 votes, followed by dessert. No one chose cranberry sauce or green beans.
