Disney School Day 3 - Bambi

Hi everyone!! Happy Monday.  Today our little Disney school studied aspects of Bambi.

We started our day as we usually do with breakfast and math sheets from school.  There are a lot of possibilities for counting with leaves, animals, and other natural elements.

We followed this up with our social studies video.  Today we took a look at the national forests.  We watched this video of the top 25 national parks.  The kids were asked to name which park they would like to visit and why.

So after the video, the kids needed something a little more active, so we tried our science experiment.  One of my favorite parts of the bambi movie was the drip drip drop little April showers song, so we learned about rain.  Ours didn't turn out exactly like it was supposed to, but eventually the colors started to rain down.  The kids fully understood how the water loads up the clouds until they were too heavy and made rain.  Here is the website to our experiment.

We finished our morning work with spelling and English with papers from school.  We are starting to run low on them, so I'll have to start finding age appropriate activities for these as well.

We took a break for recess and lunch, then watched Bambi.  It really is a cute movie, even if it has its intense moments.  My son loves the baby animals.

We tried writing next.  I told them that through the whole movie, Bambi had two best friends who did everything with him.  I then asked them to write about their two best friends.  I wanted to know who they were and why they were friends.  I also asked my daughter if she thought her friendships would last and why.

Finally we made deer masks for our crafts.  I decided just to make them out of cardstock since the kids probably wouldn't be interested in them after today.  If you think your kids would want to keep using their masks for more than a week, I suggest making them out of foam or felt.  This is the original post I got the idea from.  I found the pattern when I did a google search for bambi masks.  I tried to find the direct link, but it looks like the webpage no longer exists, and I don't want to post an image that isn't mine, so to find the template, do a search for bambi masks.  look in the images tab and you will find the template.

I hope you guys enjoy these ideas for your Bambi day.  Tomorrow we will be working on Fantasia projects.  See you then.
