Sonlight Week 23

Wow, we are moving right along. It is hard to believe that we are already in week 23. We started The Wonderful Wizard of Oz this week. I was somewhat unsure of how she would take to the book but so far, she has loved it. She has asked everyday for "one more chapter." How can I resist? We learned about atoms and molecules, added more diagraphs to our reading, and continued to practice skip counting and subtraction in math.

She had been waiting for this letter - U because of the silly picture of underwear to add to her letter page. She thought that was so funny - underwear!

J learned a few more sight words this week. She is working on want, this one seems to be tough for her. So we are still practicing it.

We worked with a few more silly sentences. She liked this activity and I have been thinking about creating my own to go along with our Oz reading.

I added rainbow words this week to help practice her sight words. She traced over the words using crayons while practicing reading the word.

More sight word practice. We have to practice, practice, practice...

J pulled out the handwriting book. I am trying to finish this book before the end of the year but I feel that she writes so much in our day. I don't want to wear her out. She asked to work a few pages without my prompting.

We celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday all week long. We read his books and did some fun things. (I know I am late but we wanted to join in the fun) J is reading an emergent reader about the Cat in the Hat.

We read The Foot Book and painted with our feet.

I am a brave woman! We made green cupcakes and drank green kool aid for Green Eggs and Ham. What fun! Hope your week was fun, see you for week 24!
