This week for Five in a Row we did The Story About Ping by Marjorie Flack. The boys enjoyed reading this book and learning lots of new things.
We talked about discernment and making the right choice, even when it's not easy. We also talk about how The Story About Ping is a "classic" book.
Ping lived on the Yangtze River in China. We ate Chinese food and talk about the Chinese Culture.
Nathan and Micah enjoyed painting pictures of the story.
Ping had a big family so we got peanuts out and counted how many people were in Pings family.
We talked about buoyancy.
We went to the park to look at ducks and feed them.
We really enjoyed learning in a whole new way. Who would have thought you could learn Social Studies, Literature, Art, Math, and Science from reading one book.

Using things from around the house we played "will it float" to see what would float or sink.
