Zoo! May 13, 2011

Homeschooling journal:

We had a good trip to the zoo with Katie, Cylis, and Micah this morning.  Lucy told Cylis about the Spanish moss, and we saw the tiger and black bears moving around and the white alligators up close.  Most of the time we let the kids play in the water at Monkey Hill, then the thunder started and we had to make a run for the shelter in the swamp exhibit.  Lucy panicked at the thunder.  We finally walked back in the rain after lunch, and got to the gates just as the sun was coming back out.

Lucy’s Chicken Story

“I didn’t feel good because I needed to go potty but I didn’t know how to go potty.  So I just had chicken since I was sick.”

Lucy’s story today:

“A long time ago I didn’t feel very good because I needed to go potty but I couldn’t because my tummy was just like throwing up to the ceiling because I needed to go potty and I was about to throw up.  And I needed some chicken to make me feel better and I ate the chicken and I felt better.  That was all.”

Zoo Trip with Nana

This is Lucy’s first “official” narration.  A big part of the homeschooling method we’re looking at is telling back stories the child has heard as well as the story of what happened on a trip, during the day, etc.  We went to the zoo today with Craig’s mom today, and here’ is Lucy’s story (which required some prompting, but not too much).  Here it is!
