One week Caleb practiced counting by 5's. This helped prepare him for counting money, which he did this past week. He also practices his adding skills and reads story problems on his own.
Smiley practiced counting and writing numbers, including his new numbers 7 and 8. In addition to different things we found 7 or 8 of, his 7 page was a rainbow he made with 7 colors. It was a scene from a fairytale he heard earlier in the week.
The kids both heard a variety of seasonal nature stories which we would discuss while they illustrated them, and Caleb finished his tree chart.
The boys' continued to hear stories from the areas we are studying through folktales and songs. Their favorite cultural folktale they heard was Tiki Tiki Tembo, a story from China. Caleb located China on the globe and made his own map.
For Language Arts, Caleb and I are reading folktales together. He also practices reading from library books of his choice, writes in his handwriting book, and does a variety of consonant blend lists.
Smiley is doing well writing letters. He has been working on K and L. The picture is of the kitten in The Tale of Tom Kitten that had to stand and walk tall (thus resembling a K for kitten).
The boys also harvested and carved the pumpkins they grew, attended a choral concert with their Grandparents, made huge drawings colored with pastels, took walks to enjoy all the Autumn changes outside, drew Halloween pictures, played ping pong, helped Dad clean outside to get ready for winter, made beaded bracelets, and lots more!
