Today's penguin activity included a quick lesson in fractions, all visual (she is only 3 after all). Rose 'got it' much quicker than I thought she would. Not sure if she could repeat it tomorrow, but she seemed to understand the concept of whole, half, and quarter. I don't have any pictures but the final product as it was more of a hands-on for me. That and James was a bit needy today (runny nose and all). We read "Pink!", which was alright, but seemed to be missing a catching storyline for preschoolers. Rose liked it though, since it had the color pink and a penguin. So instead of just a black and white penguin, we also made a pink one. FYI I totally stole this idea from Almost Unschoolers blog.
Here is the final product that has a whole, 2 halves, and a quarter! (Sorry it is sideways - blogspot wont let me change it and I am too lazy to fix it right now)
