Poppins Book Nook: My Little Pet Shop

PBN What Will I Be

It is time once again for Poppins Book Nook. This month’s theme is: What Will I Be When I Grow Up? Please join in the fun with the linky & giveaway at the end!

So, when I asked Sweetpea what she wants to be when she grows up, she enthusiastically replied, “A pet shop worker!”. Since she adores animals, this came as no surprise, though I’m pretty sure she thinks that all a pet shop employee does is play with critters all day. 😉

We have the sweetest book to go with our animal theme. When I Grow Up is a precious story about a little turtle who snuggles up next to his daddy and tells him what he wants to be when he gets older.

When I Grow Up

Sweetpea has quite a few animal toys, so I decided to make her a printable pet shop set. I left the prices blank to give her some number writing practice. If I can ever remember where I put my handy-dandy laminator, I am going to laminate all of the price tags so she can use a dry erase marker and change it up. She carefully cut out the tags, filled in the prices, and set up shop.

The first set of price tags in the My Little Pet Shop set features the typical pet store animals. The next two pages include some of her favorite stuffed animals. I also added some sea creatures and buggy friends to give a silly twist. Please help yourself to a FREE set for your little animal lover!

*NEW* Homeschooling through the Seasons FB Page

August 22, 2014 By: amyswanderingcomment

hs seasons

 

I have a BRAND NEW Facebook group called Homeschooling through the Seasons. I will be posting seasonal and holiday educational resources every day, and I’m inviting you to join & share too! Unlike a Facebook page, where you are allowed to sometimes see only 10% of what I post, a group gives us the opportunity to share ideas and learn from one another.

The Are We There Yet? page isn’t going anywhere. I will still be posting my regular stuff, but the new group allows me to share the cool links that I don’t have time to put into a blog post. Come join us and add a bit of seasonal fun to your homeschool days!

A bit more about the Write from History series:
 
Based on the Charlotte Mason style of learning, students will study writings by famous and talented authors from history. They will then complete age appropriate assignments using oral dictation, writing summaries or additional writing.
 
In this manner – your history, spelling, reading, grammar and handwriting is combined – saving you time and money on curriculum and with terrific results!
 
From Brookdale House:
 

All Level 1 books contain historically relevant reading selections divided into four chapters: short stories, time period tales, poetry, and cultural tales. There are two writing models following each reading selection. One or both can be used for copywork. If the student is ready, the second model can be used for dictation.

In the Level 1 books, the two different writing models are presented differently for each reading selection. For the first model, children write in an area that has ruled lines below each word they copy. The second writing model is written at the top of the net page, and is followed by ruled lines in the lower half of the page. The second model requires students to write from memory.

All Level 2 books contain historically relevant reading selections divided into four chapters: short historical narratives, excerpt from primary source documents, poetry and cultural tales. In the Level 2 books, students in grades 3 to 5 are introduced in a gentle manner to interesting excerpts from primary source documents. These older students are encouraged to copy paragraph sized models written in either print or cursive. In the appendix are additional models which may be used for studied dictation.
