Sonlight week 22

Week 22 - we are still trucking through even though sickness has tried to slow us down. Now the tot is sick and most of the week, he spent on my lap sleeping while I tried to accomplish our goals for the week. (I know-he is usually on my lap anyway but an active tot is different than a sleeping tot)  We finished In Grandma's Attic. J loved the funny stories about how Grandma got into predicaments and what she learned from them. We read about scientists and worked on our blends. We began subtraction in math and played a few games. I even taught J how to play checkers. Although, she doesn't like it when you jump her piece!

In bible, we learned more about Jesus and His life.

I put together a simple review game for addition which can also be used for subtraction. I printed number cards on two different colors of paper, added a ten frame board, and some counters. J takes a number from each color, sets out the counters, and finds the solution. She then writes the problem on paper for added practice.

We used the same numbers to practice subtraction.

She worked on her L page and learned how to draw lions.

J worked on her handwriting as well as writing a sentence using the letter L. She is "thinking" of her sentence.

J worked on mixed up sentences freebie that I found from Teacher Tam called Read Like a Rock Star. After she put the sentences in order, we used the words to make silly sentences.

Lastly, we made some paper airplanes and tested them around the house.

Even Kaleb got into the action. I found the airplanes based on Disney characters from Disney Family. We are on to the yellow brick road....see you next week!
