{STUDYING THE SHARK...}

its been a while since i did a proper homeschool post and i thought i need to do better making this blog my home base for all of the things that we have been putting our hands to. homeschool/lessons have been coming alive for us lately. i have been gaining a better handle on how to create an environment that they are eager to learn amongst and gathering resources and materials that are fun and engaging. 

we, recently, stumbled upon a quick mini unit study of the shark. i gathered a few fun resources to add to our study, we explored a few incredibly shark facts and put together a fun shark model. i even got a chance to film a few of our studies over the last few days and linked those from our homeschool youtube channel, below. 

my lady baby learned to spell a few new words like FISH along with her sight words and now knows that a group of fish are called a "school". the look on her face when she knows the answers is priceless!!! and, it was a joy watching the boys work together (on their own) to complete their shark model. i listed a few of the links to the resources we used for our quick study in the description box of each video if you're interested. 

Today we started studying the shark... _______________________________________________ i'm syreena and i'm a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom to three amazing children & wife to an amazing man. my first calling is to my family and i take my job so very seriously. this is our channel where we document our adventures in homeschool/life here at Faith & Love Adventure Academy!
hi mamas :) so, i got everything checked off my list today except for posting this video this morning lol. just a quick one about what i threw in my homeschool teacher bag on the way to nana and pop-pops house for dinner and decorating!
today we continued on with our shark study and actually got around to using our build the shark kit. we got our kit from ollies for $4.99 but you can also find it here on amazon... https://www.amazon.com/Build-Shark-Barbara-Taylor/dp/1607104148/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1481295293&sr=8-1&keywords=build+the+shark WARNING: the reviews are terrible. most people say that the pieces are confusing and that the instructions are terrible.

from syreena, with love
