Winter Promise - Week 8

We are in our 8th week of the school year and if all goes well, we will finish in May. J has been enjoying learning about animals with Winter Promise and she is looking forward to her first 'Merican birthday party as well as her first Halloween. I definitely have been enjoying the experiences that my kids have had here - English libraries, the aquarium, zoo, and Children's museum. I hope to add to those experiences while we are able.

In Math, J reviewed counting money and telling time.

J read a story about fish in her reading textbook. She reads one story a week several times to aid in her fluency.

J enjoyed using some of the printables that I made for this week. She loved the challenge of learning how to spell alligator. I wasn't expecting her to learn it right away but she did. She spent all week telling people how to spell it! If you missed Week 8 printables, go HERE.

She used the letter tiles to practice the word alligator as well as other words from the poem Alligator Stew by Dennis Lee. She loved the poem and I think, when possible, that I will include an animal poem each week.

While we read about the wetlands, we included facts, plants and animals that we read about. This page was added to the animal notebook.

She completed her alligator notebook page. We read a few extra books from the library about alligators.

Kaleb is supervising while she draws her alligator on the alligator fact sheet that I created.

She worked on some addition problems using the alligator math mat that I created. She added teeth to the alligator to work through the math problems. She thought this was fun to do. She then created her own math problems as well.

While reading about reptiles, J added some facts and drew pictures for her facts on the reptile sheet (also in the pack that I created). She loves snakes almost as much as she loves sharks! Well, we had a full week of learning about alligators, reptiles, and turtles. Next week, we will be learning about salmon and flies (yuck). I am working on the printables for next week even though the topic is somewhat difficult. Hope to see you soon.
