TTT Boys

I have a boys who loves animals, amphibians, reptiles... if it moves, doesn't belong in my house, and isn't a human, he's all over it. Well, minus spiders, he hates spiders!

Can you guess what these are?

How do I interest a (2nd grade) boy in school who would much rather; feed calves, play with kittens, catch frogs & look for turtles?
I incorporate those things in to his school.
How?

• Adding animal related words to his spelling lists as bonus words
  
• Reading Books
• Writing Assignments
• Science Projects & Research Assignments

He also loves to listen to Jonathan Park. VF currently has two CD sets which are 'tours'.
Jonathan and his dad are your guides as you explore the Galapagos Islands and learn about 100 of the most popular zoo animals.

JP Goes to the Galapagos Islands
JP Goes to the ZooI have decided to try a new (to us) curricular for his Science. For his 3rd grade school year, we will be using Singapore Science. After reading reviews and looking at sample material, I think he will love it... I hope he will love it!
From the Singapore website... ''Singapore Science is a comprehensive package based on the latest Primary Science syllabus set by the Ministry of Education, Singapore. Adopting the inquiry-based approach to the learning of Science, it aims to spark curiosity and awaken young minds to the world around them. Special emphasis has also been placed on helping pupils acquire skills and processes.

The textbooks in this series attempt to present Science as a fascinating subject by helping pupils to find the answers to the questions in the world around them. This is accomplished through inquiry, where pupils are encouraged to be actively involved in finding the answers. At the same time, with the use of vibrant photographs and amusing illustrations to enhance learning, Science is made real and relevant to pupils.

There are five textbooks in this series, following the themes of the latest Primary Science syllabus in Singapore – Diversity, Cycles, Systems, Energy and Interactions. Where appropriate, links are included across the five themes to help pupils connect scientific ideas.''

I'll let you know what we think the Fall.
