Week 22 K ~ Kangaroo {2/13 - 2/17/2012}

Seriously the Kangaroo is fascinating!!!!

The fact that when born a Kangaroo is only about the size of a grape - A GRAPE people... and it knows to just crawl up an into the pouch of it's momma, is just fascinating to me. Not sure how the Kangaroo lucked out with being able to give birth to something so small...?

we learned that Kangaroo's can also jump 30 feet in one jump. We went out to the driveway and I marked a line and had each girl take a few jumps and we marked them with chalk and then measured them. We then measured 30 feet... the girls were amazed to see how much farther the Kangaroo could jump than them!

Here are our books and videos from the week:


We also celebrated Valentines Day this week too! We had made Valentines crafts two weeks ago and the girls sent "hugs" to their grandparents.

Week 21 ~ Review Week ~ {2/6 - 2/10/2012}

This week was a review week for us. We spent the week reviewing the different animals we learned about and what was so unique about them as well as where they were from. I love having the review weeks and seeing the girls think and recall what they have learned.
