Well it is that time again…

For us to rotate five in a row books…

My sons favorite places in the world now are “surprisingly” places that Ping and Madeline lived over the last few months and weeks so now we move on to my oldest kids absolute favorite five in a row book

Five In A Row – How to Make An Apple Pie and See the World

This week I found a site that was new to me BUT was a homeschool mom also teaching in a cooperative group setting… A CLASSROOM

School @ Home was able to map out all of the activities that are very class-able. I was inspired. I will print these out for this week. School @ Homes’ acting activity is the key to teaching this book with busy kids. This week they can travel around the class room as they “actively listen” to the new story. I hope I don’t have mayhem…but good fun! We will see

Enchanted Learning World Map

The kids in one class can actually fill I the spots where they travelled to gather ingredients for the apple pie. This is really good for my Thursday crew that LOVES to color

My Top picks include this passport kit I can use for co-op:
