This week we talked about "Me and My Body." We began on Monday with a basket of goodies containing items that we use to take care of our body. We talked about eating healthy, drinking water, exercising, wearing the correct clothing for the weather, and things we do to take care of our body like washing, brushing, taking vitamins, sunscreen, etc. Ronan thought it was fun! Then we read a few books about "the body."
On Tuesday we talked about our 5 senses! Micah and Ronan learned where there senses are that help the body investigate! We had "sense sticks" to help determine which sense we'd use to investigate the item I put in front of them. We did a car, toy bird that made noise, and some carrots.
Then we used Mr. Potato Head to further talk about the parts of the body that are involved in our senses.
Afterwards we practiced some cutting... we cut the pages to make a "my senses book" about popcorn.
First we used our senses to investigate the kernels...
Then we watched them pop...
We further investigated the popped product using our 5 senses again! The boys loved it!
On Wednesday, the boys worked on their names, tracing and matching letters with Aunt Janell!
Then on Thursday we talked about doing things "all by myself"... we practiced getting dressed...
I was amazed that he could do it all, all by himself, right down to the socks and shoes!
Other things we practiced were opening things "all by myself"... we opened ziplock bags, bottles, and jars!
Then we practiced peeling a banana and cutting it!
Friday was our community yard sales and Kieryn was out of school for the day. So we did not have a formal lesson, but had lots of fun baking brownies for the kids's food stand and preparing signs! They made about $20.
What a fun week! Both kids are getting anxious about summer! Can't get here soon enough.
Until next time...
