We had a good time rowing this book. Before I complete this post I want to say that the way we row books has drastically changed. Originally I had planned to use FIAR as a curriculum. While we love learning through these books it simply wasn’t a good fit for us. I just wanted the rows to be memorable and I [was missing some of that by stressing myself out with to much planning, and really that is not the heart of FIAR. So we are back rowing with a new and refreshed look.
The day we rowed this book it was raining which worked out perfectly. We read the book and then talked a bit about the types of weather mentioned in the book. We then set out our rain gauge and checked it later that day.
We talked about how water gathers places, and went out in the rain to find rain that had gathered. The kids had a blast playing in puddles.
We talked about the water cycle and watched a YouTube video . And then we did an experiment to show the water cycle.
On a whim we decided to do an experiment that shows what happens when the water gathers in the clouds.
In this book it talks about grandpa’s fear of storms. We talked a lot about our fears and memorized this scripture. 2 Timothy 1:7
7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
And that was all on a rainy day! It was really a great way to spend that day. I think the kids will have fond memories.
