BFIAR: The Little Rabbit

This week makes a full month of homeschooling Adelaide! We had a ball.

BFIAR: The Little Rabbit

Reading
We read "The Little Rabbit" by Judy Dunn this week! Our library did not have it, so we read along on YouTube. We of course listened to it with all our stuffed bunnies! We used this bunny questionnaire on page 2 of Homeschool Share's pdf. She named her stuffed bunny Pinka, said she loved playing fetch, and eating carrots!

We talked about Proverbs 12:10a like the manual suggests. She related the verse to how she loves and cares for our cat Simon. We also practiced problem solving by brainstorming how Sarah could have adopted the rabbits out!

Each week, we've been filling out a book report together. Verbally summarizing the story is something I'm definitely working on with her, but she has improved greatly!

We also used a worksheet with comprehension questions about the wild bunny and Buttercup. It is page 24 of Homeschool Creation's The Little Rabbit pdf.

Syllables
We used page 22 "Say and Clap Story Words" from Homeschool Creation's The Little Rabbit pdf. I used two empty pouches of out calendar wall for this! She loved this activity. Instead of clapping the syllables, we placed our hands under our chins and felt our mouths make the syllables.

Letter of the Week: D 
She decorated an uppercase donut and a lowercase dragon!

Alphabet Game 
We played a "Bunny Hop" alphabet recognition game! We spread the flashcards across the floor, grabbed her bunny Pinka, and set to hopping! Once she hopped to the correct letter, we'd pick up that card and set it aside, until they were all gone. 

Days of the Week
I especially enjoyed Buttercup's babies names being the days of the week! I made one finger puppet bunny to be Buttercup. Then 7 identical bunnies with their names written on them. We used them to practice the days of the week order, but she has played with them throughout the entire week.

I used Homeschool Creation's The Little Rabbit pdf for page 14. It has Buttercup and all seven baby bunnies. Addie cut them out and pasted them in order on a piece of construction paper.

We sang two wonderful songs from 1+1+1=1's Calender Part 1. You can save the songs as a pdf. The first song is "Days of the Week" with the tune of "The Adams' Family". We use clap-clap, then snap-snap, and end with stomp-stomp. The second song is "Every Week" with the tune of "Frère Jacques."

Music
Together we sang many adorable songs about rabbits this week!

• Robbie the Rabbit
• Did You Ever See a Bunny?
• Little Bunny FooFoo
• Ten Little Bunnies
• 5 Little Bunnies

Rabbits 
We discussed the placement of rabbits' ears and eyes. We also talked about their strong muscles in their legs; their sharp teeth that are always growing; and how they have several babies at one time. She enjoyed hearing females are called does, males are bucks, and babies are kittens!

Camouflage 
Some animals use camouflage to accomplish different things! We watched SciShow Kids' video and talked about why the wild bunny would be brown and Buttercup would be white.
