Sonlight Week 9 is the final week of the first quarter of school. We have been working for nine weeks - learning, reading, writing.... This week brought us a chapter book about being homeless (The Family Under the Bridge) and learning to take care of our earth. Here are a few of the activities we worked this week.
In Bible, we learned about Moses as a baby and how God saved his life.
Our mystery letter was P and J learned how to draw a penguin.
Our new sight word was to and J is practicing writing and reading her new word.
J worked on reading her early readers. We do this every day in order to increase her fluency.
We played sound bingo. I called the sounds and she marked them on her board.
We added Hudson Taylor to our timeline after reading about his life.
I was able to attend a consignment sale here at my DH school over the weekend. I found this great world puzzle. The pieces were large and it had some great pictures of animals. J put it together by herself. I am always on the look out for educational items, especially here. This week brought a little trouble with my favorite camera, I am working around it and hopefully, it will be resolved soon. Sorry for the lack of pictures. Hope your week was full of learning.
I just found your blog and I love it! It is by far the most helpful blog I have found.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to tell you thank you for posting (I am using Sonlight K as well with my 5 year old son) and I look forward to your future posts.
One more thing: what is your true feelings about the Handle on the Arts curriculum? Is it really worth the $20 or could you take it or leave it?
Thanks again!
Thank you so much for your encouragement. I am so glad that my posts on Sonlight have been helpful. As for Handle on the Arts - it was a $20 investment. I like the extra ideas that it offers and I tend to use it as an "idea/spring" board for upcoming weeks. It has a lot of mapping projects which we tend to skip but it does have some hands on. If you follow my Sonlight Core A pinterest boards, I try to pin items a week in advance for planning. I hope that answers your question. www.pinterest.com/worldsapart/
