This week for Five In a Row we did the book Lentil by Robert McCloskey. The boys and I went to my in-laws for the first part of the week and learned about the book. That's what's so fun about learning, you can do it everywhere!
In the book Lentil played a harmonica. We learned about music and the sounds that a harmonica can make. My mother-in-law had old harmonicas that were her dads. She gave one to us.
Lentil lived in a small town in Ohio which worked out great because Tims' family lives in a small town in Oklahoma where we talked about the difference in small vs big towns.
Lentil had a Hardware Store in the small town of Ohio, we went to the hardware store in the small town of Mounds, OK and learned all about the Hardware Store.
Lentil saved all his pennies to buy a harmonica. With pennies we did addition and subtraction.
Nathan and his Grandpa built a train like the one in the book.
Ohio is in the United States of America. We made American flags with are hands and feet.
We found where Ohio is on the map.
Lemons are a big part of the book and we had a lot of fun with lemons and tasting them. We also talked about our taste buds.
This was a perfect week for us to know that we can learn anywhere we go.
