Sonlight Week 10

This week brought us the end of The Family Under the Bridge, learning about animals, The Mayflower and Pilgrims. Here are just s few of the activities we did this week.

In Bible, we learned about Moses, the burning bush, and miracles.

In Math, we worked on our ten frame. I would add yellow chips to the ten frame and ask her how many she would have to add to make ten.

I pulled out our Inchimals to practice measuring. These are the cutest things. I splurged on them last Christmas and I am glad I did. J was using them to measure items from her desk. We were working on measuring to the inch so these worked out perfectly.

We played a new game with our chalkboard. I wrote different words and she had to read them to erase them.

We worked on syllables with this worksheet I found here. She had to say the word and count how many syllables. She then used a hole punch to punch the number.

J started a word family notebook page. I found this free printable at This Reading Mama. We started with the am family. She wrote all of her am words on the page, leaving some room to add more when she learns blends. These will be kept in a notebook and we will add to these.

S was the mystery letter of the week. J was practicing her S writing.

J working on her S page. She asks to do this every week. She likes to look through old magazines and find items that start with out mystery letter.

J is practicing her reading using the Bob books. There are a few blogs who are offering free printables to go along with these Bob books. We are working on the first Bob book, Mat. I cover the pictures so she has to focus on the words. After she reads the pages, she can look at the picture.

J is working on her Mat word search. You can find the printables for the Bob books at In Lieu of Preschool. Go there and it will direct you to the other websites. So far, they have posted for the first three Bob reading books.

Just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday (which the country does not celebrate but we do at home), we learned about the Mayflower. J created a replica of what she thought the Mayflower would look like...

complete with colored sails!

J and I then created a 3-D model of a Pilgrim village. This was found in a Scholastic book and I printed it on card stock. We watched two videos at Scholastic about the Mayflower and the village life at Plimoth. These were great to add a visual to our learning. Check the videos and website out, some good stuff for Thanksgiving there.

Next week brings us Thanksgiving but we will have school all week. It is also J's birthday. We will be learning about Indians and reading a new chapter book Twenty and Ten. Hope you have an awesome week.
