Mr. Popper’s Penguins Unit Study

Mr. Popper’s Penguins was next up in our Literature Unit Studys from Erica over at Confessions of a Homeschooler. The main thing I will say is that Nadia and I LOVED this book!! It was such a fun read and she was so caught up in it that she would beg me for “just one more chapter!” I didn’t take a lot of photos during this as we just had a lot of fun working on things as we had time.

Once we finished reading the book we got the movie from Netflix. While Nadia and Amelie laughed out loud at the slapstick humor, Nadia immediately pointed out that it wasn’t like the book. At the end we talked about it and she said the book was better than the movie. That’s my girl!

On this fine morning we decided to head out and do some exploring as a family since we had never been to the Outer Banks before. It was a fun time just watching the girls run around and check things out at each stop.

I thought this old church was kind of neat.

After our exploring and lunch we headed back to the beach. Josie wanted to try the boogie board like her sisters so Mike helped out and I attempted to get some photos of the adventure. She had a blast even though she was completely soaked in the end.

It’s funny how much kids just love to run on the beach!

Sweet girls totally wiped out each day after beach time.

That evening we headed over to a place the Hameloth’s suggested to hunt for crabs and take photos.

Jessica and the girls made some “bling” with our Pop Beads.

  • I am so thankful for Jessica coming to visit us last weekend. It was such a fun time to catch up, watch movies and laugh a lot while eating a bunch of really good food. It went too fast, but I am so happy she was here to kick off her birthday month 🙂
