We started our week with our intro to calendar time, RRSC(Raising Rockstar Cur.), verse, letter and color. This took us forever! I forgot how long new things take. :) GB loved changing the weather throughout the day. "oh, wait it's windy, I need to change the board!" She wants to use the snowy one, sooo bad! No!!!!!
Intro to Communtiy helpers with the book "What's my Job?"
Other great books we used:
The best part of this theme was keeping it real for the littles. The beauty of home-school! Instead of just talking about these people and places, we went and met some helpers in our community!
We went to the Store, Post Office, Beauty shop (Luke got his hair cut & GB washed) Police Station, and of course the library, church, and Leonardos. :) We skipped the Dr. office (we have to go in a couple weeks) and fire station (we had just been there a couple months ago and Fire Safety month is in Oct.) We had a lot of great discussion with the books and on our outings. GB's favorite was the Post Office!
Here's some highlights from this week:
Yellow: Color find game
cutting practice
RRS work
Painting a Ladybug. I asked her if she could paint something that started with L
L painting
Lacing beads
She cut (oh my) her Bible verse out, taped and measured it.
That was a lot of straight or wavy line cutting! The oh my was she didn't want to hold the scissors the correct way (I kept correcting). It's amazing how pink scissors are easier to use than green! *wink*
number match game
patterns
The baby thogs are missing- these were a little more difficult!
shape puzzles
playing doctor
The weather was very pretty at the first of the week, so we did a lot of outside play and a little learning too! hopping to the word, letter, # of the week
playing beauty shop
Little mailgirl sorting the mail
Trip to the post office to learn about mail! We bought a stamp and mailed Cruz a letter! The postmaster was super sweet, she let them use a key to unlock a mailbox, carry mail to the back for her and even got our address and mailed them a package (coloring books)!! What fun getting mail and learning about it too! :)
Police Station- no tour. :( They weren't as welcoming as I had hoped-maybe not Monday people. :) Anyways, we looked around and talk about badges and their job. We met a nice polieman on the way out that talked to us and let them look in his car! ;)
Lunches/snacks
Well, we didn't make anything that went with our theme. We had some L sandwiches and toast. We had an all yellow lunch (I hope to do this with each color). We had letter snacks (cheez-its, cookies). Nothing too exciting.
