HOW TO MAKE APPLE PIE AND SEE THE WORLD here

This past week, Joseph and I rowed How to Make Apple Pie and See the World from the FIAR series. This book was so much fun to row. I had some help with ideas from the workbook but also from my new mentor, via blog, Michelle

Monday: Language 

Here's Joseph doing a Pantomime of milking cows

In this picture he's looking at all the different modes of transportation used in the book and trying to put them in order.

Joeseph's trying to put the ingredients in order how they appeared in the book

We did a fun picture from the Draw Write Now book 2. It's a great book full of fall pictures to draw.




Tuesday: Socical Studies (flags, country wheel, match ingredients to country)


Here's Joseph coloring pictures of all the flags from the countries she went to to get her ingredients. 

More look at the flags/countries

Matching ingredients with the correct country. Yay!! He did it!!



Wednesday: Science (life cycle of an apple, discuss fresh ingredients, watch video about salt, salt experiment, discuss evaporation)


Here we are looking at the life cycle of an apple. 


this is just a random picture i put in because it was so cute. The boys are having snack time. Gingerbread cookies. Yum!

Joseph's not too sure he like Cayden dipping his cookie into his milk...look at that face!! 

 Two days past our salt experiment. We made salt!! 

Thursday: Art (street scene from book with Daddy)

For any of you who don't know, my husband has just recently discovered his talents as an artist. His talents range from cake decorating, painting, drawing, and doing amazing crafts with the kids! Here's the street scene he made with Joseph, out of the book. So cute!!


Friday: Math(make an apple pie with Mommy)


We had so much fun making this apple pie from the back of the book. It tasted delicious. However we didn't use the crust in the book. I'm a Pioneer Woman fan and I used THIS crust. It's a sure winner every time!! 


I hope you enjoyed looking through our fun week of How to Make Apple Pie and See the World. If you're interested in doing this row with your child/children. You can check out some of the links that I used.
