Day 5: Cool Things About Tigers
WHO?
I used this study with my four children, ages 10, 8, 7, 4. Although it is recommended for K-4, I found that my 5th grader did quite well with the study presenting it as-is.
HOW?
We went at this with just the unit provided. We live in a small town and a search of the library yielded very limited results for us. We learned so much just doing the study alone with none of the read-along type extras. It was more than enough! I find in doing these DNG units that I don't really need extras. Amanda has done all of that for me and that's the simple beauty of these studies.
I gather my children round the computer and we read through them, taking one activity at a time. Also, to save a little money, I just keep the e-book saved on a flash drive and do not print out the entire book. I only print out the activity pages. For those who lapbook, the components are linked within the book and are found at the end of the study.
THE VERDICT
Download 'N' Go Terrific Tigers is chock full of great stuff on tigers. The graphics are stunning and the links are captivating--at least to my nature loving sons. The audios included were fantastic! We played them over and over and were amazed by the facts we learned in this study. When we measured it out, they were shocked by the true size of these animals, versus what the children imagined that they looked like. We never had any luck getting a peek at the live webcam of the tigers, but we were intrigued by all that we learned about tigers and the Creator of such an impressive animal.
I appreciated that this is a complete study, with all of the subject areas covered nicely. There wasn't anything for me to add in or have to pull together to supplement. Download 'N' Go studies make it effortless to inspire my children and feel confident that they are learning.
