Caleb made lists for all the vowels (and Y) and the different sounds they make. He also writes in his journal regularly, copies and makes up poems, and wrote paragraphs about the stories we are reading. He is reading aloud from a short chapter book and we are reading The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle together, in addition to lots of books the kids pick out from the library.
This poem Caleb and I made up after we spent a week playing "store". The kids took turns selling goods, bartering and trading, and having lots of different community jobs like farmer, librarian, and veterinarian. Caleb was responsible for making store signs and price lists and even Smiley helped count the bills that were being used for dollars.
In math Caleb has gone through several lessons. He has learned to read minutes on a clock, and has gotten lots of practice subtracting. He recently started a new lesson learning subtraction with borrowing (regrouping).
Smiley continues to practice writing numbers 0-20 and has started adding numbers together. He uses math blocks to help with counting and adding.
Smiley has finished learning the alphabet. Together we are making a big alphabet poster with cut-out fabric letters.
The kids have been doing a variety of projects at their classes at Riverwood. Caleb is working on knitting with his handmade needles, finger knitting, and making gnomes out of wool and fabric. They have both been making valentine's cards and coloring lots. We have been taking hikes, observing the changes in winter and nature, and reading nature stories. The kids have full days crafting, reading, drawing, cooking, singing together, telling stories, and lots more!
