We continued our adventure with Pete the Cat. J worked on writing her color words, of course, her favorite word was pink.
J colored a mini book using all of the colors for Pete the Cat.
We are working with the Nursery Rhyme Hickety Pickety, My Black Hen. So for our Science activity, we used our ears to listen to "eggs." The idea was to use plastic Easter eggs but we don't have those here, so I used some candy containers that I have been saving.
I filled each container with different items such as rice, lentils, dry noodles, sugar cube, etc... J shook each one and tried to guess what was inside. This was interesting since several sounded the same. Her guesses surprised me, she guessed rice. I didn't think she would get that one.
I wrote her guesses then we opened the containers to see if she was right. She was surprised that different items sounded the same. Next time I would put two of the same items so she could match the sounds.
I let her eat the chocolate. I love this picture.
J then made a hen puppet that when the wings close, she hides her eggs. For another Science activity based on the rhyme, we grouped animals into two categories - those who lay eggs and those who have live babies. We have a good selection of plastic animals (J loves them) so we used those.
She did really good at this. She even knew that insects laid eggs. J has been asking to study space, so we are off to explore. We will still use a core book but our Science will be based on space. We found some space men in a toy store here to play with in the sand box. She is excited to begin her space learning. May your weekend be wonderful.
