Our new FIAR story is Lentil. It's written by the same author who wrote Make Way for Ducklings and Blueberries for Sal. Because the story takes place in Ohio, we learned about that state and where it is located. The boys know the capital and state bird of Ohio, what state is next to it and where to find it on a US map. We did a US states puzzle and listed to our sing 'n learn geography CD with the state capitals. The boys enjoyed coloring Ohio on a US map and finding Cincy and Columbus within the state. I printed up an Ohio coloring sheet for Thea, too. She really likes being involved and at the table participating with the boys.
Ashton drew a neat picture of where the storms are in Ohio. He had me draw the outline of the state and then he drew storms in various locations and told me which ones were "moving towards Ohio".
Landon points out Ohio on our US puzzle.
