Mammal Friends

Asher got straight to work today, busying himself by hopping from one activity to the next.  When he came upon his bowl of rubber bands, instead of putting them on the door handle and taking them off as he is supposed to do, he thought it would be more fun to do this:
 Malachi worked on rhyming words:

We had an end-of-the-day Science lesson on mammals.  To begin our unit on animals, we read about and discussed the characteristics  of mammals:

We sorted them according to whether or not they were mammals. Throwing the mammals into the far corner pile was the best part of this lesson:

My crazy mammals with their mammal friends:

Karis was delighted to find these long lost friends at the bottom of the animal pile:
