Sonlight Week 29

Wow, look at that! Only 7 more weeks to go. I can't believe it. I have a ton of stuff to do to get ready for our 'Merica trip and to get the apartment ready. I also have my DD who will graduate and we will have a visitor for her graduation - a family friend. So, it is going to be busy but that's good. I like busy so I don't have to watch the calendar slowly slip by. This week brought us the beginning of The House at Pooh Corner. She has been waiting for that chapter book for awhile. We also read about some big machines such as airplanes, trains, and construction machines.

We are always working on sight words. J is working a a sight word book from Scholastic Books.

As a typical kindergartener, J sometimes mixes up b and d. I found this free graphing exercise from Sprinkles to Kindergarten. Make the b/d cube, roll it, and write the letter that ends up. I had her tell me what letter it was while she was writing it. We practiced this all week.

Y was our mystery letter of the week. J is learning how to draw a yak.

J is working on writing her y's.

It was also time to start learning the poem, Trees by Joyce Kilmer. J worked on the first page of the printable book that I created for it. You can find it here. I created two books for the poem. The first one is for the child to trace the verses and the second is just for illustrating. We read the first page every day and J drew a tree.

Well, one more week down. I can't believe first grade is all most done. Hope you had a week full of sunshine, see you later!
