Animal Legends

Ferdinand has been working on a Animal Legends main lesson block. It took a little patient convincing but he has enjoyed it. It is always tricky transitioning with him, he hates every new block we begin but cries when we come to the end because it was his "favorite one".
We used Donna Simmons second grade book Animal Legends plus some stories from The Baldwin project. He was particularly take with the "Crow and the Pitcher" and spent some time at the sink trying to see how adding stones could raise the water. He also attempted his first watercolor of the year and though he usually fights painting he was quite happy with his finished grapes. It has been fascinating for me to go back and compare his MLB with Iddy Biddy's and has given me a lot of insight to how each of them learns. I am feeling more confidant the second time teaching this.
