Creation, Numbers 1-7, Nature/Animals. We even had the privilege of taking school to CeCe's (my parents house) when our cousins were in town before they moved far far away to California. It was quite a challenge to do school with four kids all at different levels, but we managed and had fun!
Our main Bible we used this week was Pray and Play Bible for Young Children. She also enjoyed looking at James' big boy Bible Reader that we use for his 1st grade curriculum. They both have wonderful colorful illustrations to make the story come alive.
School with Cousins at my parents.
Fun with Homemade PomPom Magnets
Punching holes to practice number recognition.
Nature Walk to find color of the day...Green and Brown
Collecting items for Creation Collage
All you need is contact paper and paper bag. Cut contact paper and paper bag to rough size that you desire. Peel off paper and place contact paper sticky side up onto work surface.
Place your treasures onto the sticky side of contact paper, then lay paper on top to seal.
You could also seal it with another layer of contact paper [instead of the paper bag] and hang it in the window as a cool suncatcher.
We are working on number recognition, and focus on a new number each creation day. We went outside and used our sidewalk chalk to write the three numbers we had reviewed so far. I would call out a number and she would hop to it. Later we took a walk around the yard, and collected 1, 2, and 3 items of nature. Then we laid them down in the appropriate box. Ex. One stick, Two blades of grass, Three acorns.
She LOVES the counting bears, at first we were reviewing numbers...but then we went to color matching and sorting...this kept her busy for quite some time.
Break time....RECESS!!!
We created a craft page to represent what God created each day. Day 3 was probably the most messy! Glue a strip of brown construction paper to the bottom of page for dirt, paint the arm brown for tree trunk, hand/s green for branches. and paint green for grass and plants.
Day 4 He created the lights in the sky!
Here is a simple game to create: Creation Shoebox Match up~ Using Clothespins.
Role play with a friend. Wearing their babies!
Science: Sorting Whether the Animals Swim or Fly
Using stickers to create Day 5 Craft Page.
Tracing: We have torn out several pages from a workbook from Walmart and slipped them into sheet protectors. Bella loves her binder and pulls it out as James works on his "big boy" school work. These sheet protectors are in order 1-10, in a special number section for her to trace with dry erase markers. She can trace and erase as many times as she would like.
More numeral practice with 1-5 Sorting.
Color of the Day: Purple~
Craft: Flying purple bird...
Of course, all purple birds need a touch of green, mom~
Practicing cutting with scissors. Neat book purchased from Walmart called I Can Cut!
