Most of our focus was on the study of ants since we did this to go along with the Zoology 1 section on ants.
We did spend time talking about homonyms, homographs, aunts, and repetition though.

We made an anthill cake. The anthill is crushed graham crackers with chocolate sprinkles. There are also chocolate sprinkles inside the cake.

We do have an ant farm I planned to use. When I mailed away for the ants, it came back undeliverable though. I gathered some ants from our yard, but they quickly escaped. I think they were small enough to get through the air holes. I know the kids would love to see ants tunneling so I'm going to try to find some bigger ants.

Sounds like a great unit study. The anthill cake really looks like it has ants!

Aren't those ants cute! Love the cake too!
Did you get those lapbook binders/notebooks from Bare Books? The idea of making a NOTEBOOK appeals to me much more than the folded manilla folders!
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
They are scrapbook albums. We use one per child per year. I like having it all in one place and they can add pictures, postcards, pamphlets, etc.
