Sonlight Week 6

Sonlight Week 6 brought us lessons about St.Patrick, the rainforest and savanna, skip counting by tens, a lesson of bullying. We began our new chapter book, The Hundred Dresses by Eleanor Estes. Here are some of the learning we did this week.


Obey was the key word this week. We read about how Abraham obeyed God, how children should obey their parents. 


Monday was Columbus Day so J created a book about Christopher Columbus. I found the mini book in a Scholastic teacher digital resource called Literacy Building Booklets.


J is still practicing her teen numbers. One game we played was to see which number would she roll more. I placed her numbers in the die and she rolled it. Every time she would roll, she would write the number.


We practiced telling time by the hour. I found a clock worksheet which she would draw the hands for the time stated. First, I had her create the time on her clock then draw what she did.


J practiced counting by tens. She had to cut out the numbers from 10 to 100 and glue them int he correct order with Kaleb supervising. I found this cut and paste activity from here.


Mystery letter of the week was A. Here she is working on her A page, gluing all of the pictures she found in magazines.


She learned how to draw a simple ant for the letter A. I found these cute write-n-draw sheets Inspired by Kindergarten.


J practiced her words using the Word Whammer from Leap Frog. She practiced the word families that she had already been learning.


She practiced writing the -at word family. I made this worksheet using the worksheet creator found here. I love this thing - type in what you want them to practice writing and print it out. Simple and easy.


She read some of her little readers.


We read about St. Patrick and made a shamrock explaining the Trinity.


J colored a Celtic cross for our studies as well. If you are looking for more ideas for Sonlight Core A, please check my pinterest account. I hope your week went well.
