Sonlight Week 20

After struggling to get through the distractions from last week (DH and DD home from school), we are finally back on track and working towards the end. I can actually see it - do you realize that there are only 16 more weeks until the end of school? I know, I know, that's like four months but I can all most feel it! Don't get me wrong, I love teaching J and we are learning so much. But, after school is over, we are heading back to the states for a spell and I am truly looking forward to that. These past few weeks we have had some struggles (more than normal) and I am just ready for a change.

Well, on to Sonlight. We are still reading In Grandma's Attic. We have been ahead in this chapter book and J has loved the stories of when Grandma was little. We celebrated 100 days and Valentine's Day this week. We learned time to the half hour in math, began reading e words, and read about our bodies. Exciting stuff.

We read about the birth of Jesus and worked on selected pages in our bible book.

J is working on her calendar notebook. She traces the date, counts the days until Valentine's Day, counts the days left in the month and such. We do this every day. She also adds a sticker to our 100 school days page and uses the 100 chart to practice counting by 1's, 2's, 5's, and 10's. This notebook has definitely helped with her counting skills.

We reviewed odd and even numbers. J had to color the even numbers yellow and the odd numbers blue. This free worksheet came from Krista Wallden's TPT shop.

Mystery letter of the week - N. J loves making her alphabet page.

She learned how to draw a narwal. She also loves the alphabet drawing pages. I found those free printables from Inspired by Kindergarten. She has a whole file, one for each letter.

I created a sight word search for some of the sight words that I want J to practice.

J began reading e words this week and she worked on -en word family house.

We are constantly practicing our sight words. I try to use this game about once a week and work through all of her sight words that she knows so far.

This is another sight word activity J loves called See it, Write it. The words are incredibly small and in order to see them, she has to use a magnifying glass. After she reads them, she writes them in the next column. We also had some Valentine's fun and 100 days fun this week. Busy, busy, busy. Hope your week was full of good things.
