SOCIAL STUDIES:

Character – Bullies and Self Defense:

After discussing bullying, we sat and read Sticks and Stones. This was a wonderful story about true friendship from Patricia Polacco’s childhood.

Birds and Bird Calls:

Though the bird unit was from the previous chapter, we continued it through the topics of chapter five.

During our study of this chapter, we continued to work on birds. We read about the anatomy of a bird, Parker used our Montessori Bird puzzle and Jim Arnosky’s Knowing the Birds to sketch and label the parts of the chickadee.

We continued to observe all our backyard birds. This adorable hummingbird visits our side garden almost daily.

Chapter Book GRAB BAG:

I created a Grab Bag for the You’re on Your Way Teddy Roosevelt Mini Unit. The Grab Bag series is a collection of worksheets and/or activities that I created while studying the FIAR Chapter Book units with my children.

You can purchase your copy HERE at our TPT Store.

*NOTE: Please be aware that any printable from the Grab Bag series may have worksheets that are similar and/or the same as those available in our other printables. We try to include anything that could enhance your student(s) learning experience as you row the chapter book series.

Pinterest Board:

You can find most of the activities, ideas, and printables from this post on our You’re on Your Way Teddy Roosevelt Pinterest Board.

Youtube Playlist:

As with our other rows, we created You’re on Your Way Teddy Roosevelt playlist with read-alouds, music, science, and other clips.
