We started Alexis's school this week! As you can guess, we started with letter A! I have truly enjoyed using the alphabet themed weeks for learning. My big kids still have fun with some of the games.
Had fun playing "ants in the pants"
My bigs are loving home school... I feel like we're settling into a routine of what subjects to cover at certain times in the day. Of course, online math and typing make the kids happy...
But spelling word practice is Ronan's least favorite... can you tell?
We had animal races as part of PE...bunny and frog hops, horse galloping, bear and crab crawling, and cheetah running!
We ended with the "Ants Go Marching" song! (Notice Alexis is wearing her animal print dress, she was proud of that!)
On Tuesday we did lots of animal themed activities... and tried apricots with our snack!
We started with name practice...
played animal memory (using the crazy 8 cards, worked great for matching practice!)...
practiced numbers...
matching animal prints...
and talked briefly about the animals on the ark! Then we ventured outside for hopscotch vocabulary practice for the big kids!...
Afterwards Alexis did avocado cutting and smashing to make us a yummy snack!
On Tuesday night Kieryn and Ronan had golf so Alexis and I took Tyson to the community playground...Tyson slept...Alexis and I had fun one on one time!
On Wednesday we had fun art time outside!
Alexis did apple painting...
The bigs worked on their Egyptian pyramid scene and Egyptian play necklace...this went along with their history. We are covering the Ancient Egyptian civilization!
On Thursday we had a lot of fun with acorns...
We did sorting and counting!
Then we went on a hunt for more!!
We talked about animals that might eat acorns. Then did a puzzle...
Friday was our "fun field trip day!"...
We visited the airport and briefly talked about how planes fly!
Then we did PE and a picnic at the skate park! It was a blast!!
Tyson slept...
When Alexis got too hot and tired to hang with Kieryn and Ronan I had a letter A activity ready for her in the shade...She had to free all the letter A items from the ice. She loved it!
When we got home, we finished with some fine motor letter A activities...
And some color matching...
Big sister snuggle time!! Kieryn has really enjoyed helping with Tyson. It's so fun to see them enjoying couch time together!
Until next time!
