Hogwarts at Home Year 2 -Magic Tree House

For her 1st grade she asked to learn about the Magic Tree House series of books. It's a great series with a brother and sister who travel through time and space using books they find in a magic tree house. They travel to explore dionosaurs, knights, mummies, pirates, the amazon, ninjas, stone age, the moon, dolphins, the old west, lions in Africa, polar bears in the Arctic, Pompeii, China, Vikings and Monasteries, Ancient Olympics, Titanic, Lakota tribe, tigers in India, Austrailia, Civil War, Revolutionary War, Pioneers, 1906 San Francisco, Shakespeare, Gorillas, first Thanksgiving and Hawaii.

There were 28 books. We did about one book per week. I combined the first two books into one week because we had read them over the summer, so only needed a review. That also meant we got to do the pirates book on the week of International Talk like a Pirate Day. We also combined Amazon and Ninjas because I had a hard time finding stuff for them. So we did them all in 26 weeks, two 13 week quarters.

I made a workbook for her with a page of centers to do in the theme if she liked, a W.A.N.D. page, (Work Assignments Needing Done), 10 vocabulary words, three or four activities do do with them, (crossword, definitions, drawing, word shapes, word find, etc), 5-10 theme activities, 3-7 coloring pages, and 3-5 math pages. We also did a art project, a cooking project, and a movie in the theme each week.
