| Nature is beautiful |
Since it was the first Monday of the school year yesterday, it was also our first science day of the year. Science day can be a lot of fun for the Monkeys because they get to learn about science and nature. Once we are finished all the individual work for the day we get to work on Monday's activities. I always like to start off with reading our science book of the week first. This week Funky Monkey took out
Whale Sharks by Heidi Mathea from the library so we made that be our first science book this year. The book itself was not too long so we were able to read the whole book in one sitting. It has numerous large photographs of whale sharks with tons of information that's easy to comprehend (even for the smallest of listeners). The book is written in a living book style so I found that the kids were able to remember a lot of the information long after we finished reading it. Even I found the book very interesting and learned a few bits about this largest fish in the world.
