First Week of Kindergarten

This week, we learned about the days of Creation and Kaleb made a Creation wheel. He is not big on coloring but he worked on it all week.

He started his new math program from Math-U-See. He checked out his blocks and he began his lessons. He did not want to be outdone by his big sis, so he worked on a week's full lesson in a day. Once we get into newer material, I imagine he will slow it down.

We discussed what a farmer did and make a cute little chart. We will add to it as we work through this unit.

We made our train table into a farm area using our FP farm set. This has definitely been a hit with my tot.

Kaleb worked with patterns and his Unifix blocks.

We matched upper and lower case Unifix letter blocks and made a huge alphabet block. I love how these blocks are the same color as the All About Reading program letter tiles.

Kaleb practiced writing his name and he worked this name worksheet that I found for free. (link below)

We added farm words to my table top pocket chart. We will work with these each week in different ways.

He painted the back drop for his farm mural. He will add an animal each week to this mural.

I hung the mural in our hallway. Sorry for the bad light. He used sponges for the clouds and forks for the grass.

I found this scale at a homeschool sale for $1. I gave Kaleb farm animal counters and he weighed each one to see what animals were heavier.

This week for his mural he made a red barn and a farmer Kaleb. I added his picture to a farmer figure. We read many books from the library about farm equipment and such. All in all, it was a good week. I will be readjusting some of our learning activities and probably changing out my reading program (which we will use later). I have a feeling what is going to work and what won't. So I am changing as needed. Hope your school week went well. Have a good weekend.
