Blast Off To Summer - P

We are now on to the letter P. P is for....

Playdate

It is extremely rare that I have the entire day with just one of my kids. One kid to devote my time and attention. Today was such a day. I had a play day with Kaleb. 


I asked Kaleb what he wanted to do and he asked to play outside in the sandbox. I usually like to wait until after lunch to play on the balcony because it isn't covered but I couldn't say no. We played in the sandbox for a good hour. He made me sand soup and I ate it. 


After convincing him to move inside since it was extremely hot, we played with some of his wooden toys. He doesn't get to play with them often because of our neighbor situation.



I then taught him a new game. I set up towers of blocks and showed him how to crash his car into them to knock them down. This was loads of fun. We had the opportunity to play all day (minus a short nap after lunch). It was a great time to reconnect with my tot, just me and Kaleb. I hope to have more one-on-one times with him soon.

Sonlight Week 36






We did it! We finished the entire curriculum. We read all of the books and we are finished. Wow. What a year! J learned so much. She learned to read and definitely enjoyed the mini readers that came with the program. She learned all of her numbers to 100, skip counting, telling time, adding and subtracting, measurement and much more. In Science, we read and learned about all most everything - space, electricity, animals, you name it, we read about it. She learned about different times and cultures all over the world. Her favorite was learning about the knights and castles. We did many art projects and hands-on learning. She did weaving and sewing. J learned how to tie her shoes. We read so many chapter books. She loved The Boxcar Children and My Father's Dragon. Well, she pretty much loved all of the books that we read.


I can't believe she completed kindergarten. It is on to first grade, hard to imagine. I am so proud of J. She did great this year and I am lucky to be able to teach her. Love ya J! Hope you had a great year of Sonlight. We are off onto another adventure, most likely with Sonlight Core B. Hope you see you next year.

J had the opportunity to spend some quality time with her big sis at the beach. Even though it was a school day, I couldn't say no.

Blast Off To Summer - N

We are still working on our countdown to summer. We are on the letter N. N is for....

Numbers and Naps









I brought out the number balance that J received for Easter (always the teacher). It isn't the best but it does get some number work done. You have to be careful because some of the bigger numbers can add to the same answer and balance out correctly. I gave J some blocks, put a number on the balance, and asked her to find all of the addends.

Sorry for the short post. We have had some unexpected things come up here. Please just keep us in your prayers :) We are on to the next letter......O.
