Both Piwis had fun with the long awaited cat study we did. Ever since we adopted Perry, Miss K had been asked to do a cat lap book. We finally had the chance and I thought Mini Piwi could try her first ever tot book from 1+1+1=1. I will post Mini Piwi's kitty fun in another post since it ended up being a lot of activities..
Most of miss Miss K's activities came from the free Homeschool share Cat Lapbook and unit study.
