We are camping with the Virtual Book Club Summer Camp again this week!
We took last week off from the
Book Club Summer Camp because of the 4th of July holiday and we had family in
town. The first half of our week was filled with last minute family fun and we
said goodbye to our family this morning.
So with the
house empty (with hubby at work and my teen son in Chicago until Sunday), the
little munchkin and I went camping again!
This week's
theme has been Water Play.
One of the
recommended books for this week is "10 Little Rubber Ducks" by Eric
Carle. Again, me being me and wanting to do so many things at once, I
looked for a way to combine learning activities.
And since the
next letter we are going to learn about is Letter Dd, a Duck themed
book/activity was perfect!! Ah, some times I love the way I think!!
Anyhow, here is
the math (and water play) activity that I created for the little munchkin.
I had originally wanted to use
her water table, but with all the rain we have had, there was too much wet sand
in it (and you know wet sand weighs a ton) for me to clean it out all by
myself!
After
reading the book, she searched each duck for the numbers to match the Number
Line.
And here is alternative
version that was a little more challenging.
Then
the REAL water play fun started when she added in some dish soap and I gathered
random toys & objects for her to use.
Discovering that some of the rubber duckies blew bubbles was the
best part!
After
about an hour of playing, she was pretty wet from all the little splashing and
splashing and she wanted to come inside to change. I'm sure if it was warmer
outside, she would have continued to play.
Once
she got settled inside, we did a quick spelling activity using letter stamps.
She spelled the word DUCK, not one time, not two times, but THREE times!!
So that was the awesome Ducky Water Play fun we had today!
