Our 7 year old second grader and 4 year old pre-kindergartner all ready to begin! Believe it or not, they ran into our bedroom excitedly saying "It's our first day of school!!" Now if I could train them to bring their teacher a hot cup of coffee... Educational goals for this year!
Working on her letter "f" in Explode The Code introduction books.
Using playdoh - her favorite!
Math measuring activity - measuring with Legos.
How many Legos tall is the globe?
Good prediction!
Learning about our family history - Introduction to Story Of The World (book one)
We buried different items on Monday that represent our modern day life including cups, plates, toys, silverware, a cross...
... And had an organized archeological dig on Thursday. We mapped out the sandbox with yarn to make a grid and Hiro marked down where we found which items on the grid. (Our friend came to join in that day!)
Fun outside - still HOT!
We also traced a map of the world and labeled the continents, traced our bodies and studied the brain, read a lot, memorized some of Psalm 1.
Hiro worked through Spelling Workout level 2 (first lesson) and First Language Lessons for the Well Trained Mind level 2. So far we both really enjoy the spelling and grammar books! He also started the next level of Piano Adventure books.
Honey Lemon went on a "Letter F" scavenger hunt, finding items all over the house that begin with F. She also organized blocks in different groups of numbers, made bead patterns on pipe cleaner, and sorted alphabet cards A-Z.
Hiro interviewed his Grampa via FaceTime about his life growing up. We played lots of memory games and card games.
It was a full and fun week!
