This week we covered letter U! Vowels are sometimes difficult but we tried to find things that both started with U but also had U in the word. Since Paw Patrol is popular in our household right now I had Rubble on the tracing sheet!
Then we did an "up" experiment. Using baking soda and vinegar we watched the balloon inflate or "blow up" when we mixed the two! Ronan loved it!
On Tuesday Ronan and Micah began the lesson by sending their cars "under" a chair tunnel...
We did shape matching with umbrellas...
Then we made an umbrella...first we colored with permanent marker...
Then we dropped rubbing alcohol to make the colors run together...
We dried them... Then added a Popsicle stick. Very fun!
Then we did a U toss into an umbrella...
We finished with tracing.
On Tuesday night we attended Kieryn's art fair and got to have yummy ice cream!
On Wednesday the boys did U tracing at Micah's house. They also spent time talking about a map of the US. Janell had them find & color states that they have lived and visited on vacations. Ronan can say "United States of America" very well now!
On Thursday Kieryn was not feeling well so she stayed home and wanted to participate in the lesson...we talked about umpires and practiced counting and number recognition.
I gave Kieryn addition...
We did a unicorn puzzle together...
On Friday we talked about things that go "up". We also talked about standing up for what is right!
Then we went outside and flew kites to see who could get theirs "up" high!
On Sunday Kieryn lost her second tooth! Growing up too fast!
What an unforgettable week! Until next time!
Kieryn - How exciting to lose another tooth!
ReplyDeleteRonan - We cam see why your experiment with baking soda and vinegar was so much fun! That balloon got BIG!
