My son enjoyed making different lines using marker pens. Next would be using paints :)

A few weeks ago, we visited the city zoo. Mavi has been asking about it for a long time now and since husband was on leave we just have to grab the opportunity see the animals while it’s still summer.
We have been to 4 zoos in the past three years, and they’re all in different places. Will tell you about it soon. And by far, he enjoyed this one the most. I love the zoo, and it’s not just my son who enjoys seeing the animals but its me and my husband too. Just like this one, it’s our first encounter with a white rhinos and gorillas. We were so enthralled! They were even more beautiful in person rather than in books!
The zoo has mini-conservatories as well. They have this house that preserves the furs of lions and tigers. My son had a great time ‘feeling’ their furs.
And they have displays of some animal skulls. Here they have the skulls of zebra, giraffe, chimpanzee, crocodile etc.
And of course, what made my son even more happier is encountering a human skeleton!! He loves it to bits!
Then before we headed home, we passed by the “Farm” area... and here kids are allowed to feed the farm animals. Unfortunately, we didn’t make it to the cow milking session. My son would have like participating on it :) Oh well, maybe next time.
I don’t usually share or talk about our trips because I wanted to keep it private. But some readers have asked me if there are some things that we also do aside from homeschool activities.
Of course we do have a lot of fun things whenever the weather permits!! Whenever it’s safe to go outside (am talking about the weather), we definitely go out and play some ball, or go to playgrounds, or somewhere else other than the 4 corners of our house LOL. We travel as well too.
Anyway, will share about it soon.
Happy Thursday everyone!
We had a short vacation last week thus the absence of homeschool activities. We had so much fun exploring the beautiful sites of the north, visited the zoo and a lot more. Will share it here soon!
Anyway, Mavi and I made some models for our 3D shapes lesson. But it seems that the little guy was more interested in making cards for his friends and applying glitter glues on it.
We waited for it to dry up. And here they are...
Too bad I couldn’t make a sphere! As you can see, my son wrote letters on it LOL. We sorted out the printables that I got from Montessori Printshop.
Using these models, I’m happy that he can now distinguish 3d shapes with the plain ones. And it is surprising that he memorizes the name of all the models that we created!
