How to make state flags!


Here is the work book and the flags of the states starting with the letter "A"
Alabama-AL
Alaska-AK
Arizona-AZ
Arkansas-AR

Supplies:
  • sticks of your choosing, we used locally sourced driftwood for our neighborhood park
  • construction paper (8.5in x 5.5in), we used white so we could color everything
  • colored pencils or crayons
  • your glue of choosing, we used elmers school glue
  • scissors
How to:

Leave an inch (depending on your stick it could only be .5in) of space from the left margin uncolored so you can wrap the paper around your stick and glue to the backside of the flag. Make sure its tight so glue adheres to the stick and to the paper. Write down any information you think it necessary and fun facts on the back of your flags!



Using the work book


Here is a snapshot of the title page. We drew a line from CA to Ok to show the path we took when we moved here. It helped to show Scarlett and Gabriel the distance we drove and where we are on the map now. We also had to draw a star in Chico, CA where their uncle Mat lives because thats the furthest distance until recently they have ever known of

Here are the 4 states we focused on. 
Its great that it includes multiple activities making it a lot more fun for the kids to learn.
Also Scarlett began to realize and recognize things she has seen before and heard about.



 

They had a lot of fun making these flags!!

Wild Mushrooms In Oklahoma  We are nature enthusiasts who love everything nature has to offer. I teach my children to admire, appreciate, observe, protect and honor Mother Earth. I am a earth sign, so is Gabriel, grounding within nature is something that is needed by my mind and body. For Gabriel, it always calms him down stepping outside. Scarlett is a air sign and like her daddy can spot the smallest detail from far away, like a bird stalking or hunting for food. She's always the first one to spot the most beautiful things. One of our obsessions is...MUSHROOMS! They are simply fascinating. We have done a lot of research to identify the different types we spot on our nature walks. Here you go... Volvariella volvacea- "Patty Straw Mushroom" Edible   *Be cautious because these are easily confused with the Death Caps, which are extremely deadly* Cantharellus cibarius- "Chanterelles" Edible *Be cautious they are e

First Day of School Nature Walk Scarlett was so excited, she has been waiting for this day a very long time! She had her little brother Gabriel (left) and her younger cousin Ramon there to support her Day 1 Our "Theme" for her first day was Nature, she was also going to be in for a surprise later on in the night! We started our morning with setting our crystal grid up for protection since we were amongst the Sturgeon Moon and for clarity during meditation time! We took our adventure to Swatek Park, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Its our neighborhood park filled with great wildlife. Hunting for Mushrooms: Mushrooms outside our apartment! Same mushrooms later, Scarlett noticed they were much larger. Mushrooms at the park! Observing the Trees: Scarlett spotted a face on this tree. The roots of this tree stretched far! Scarlett felt very moved by these trees, she said if you spin under
