Homeschool Letter W

We are finishing up printables are from 1plus1plus1equals1.com’s Animal ABCs.
W is for Walrus….
This was totally spur of the moment.

Here is our All About Reading (Prelevel) letter page.

          


She is painting our Wolf from LearnCreateLove.

We are ‘Setting the Table’ here from our Horizons work.


She completed it from memory.


I did not take as many pictures this week sorry.

Seasonal Activity….We LOVE FALL…

Here is our Sensory Bin.

 

It contains items we already had along with some rice that I died to make red, organge, and yellow with food coloring. I use the simplest method to die my rice. Why spend more money or time with something that may be scattered all over the yard pretty soon. HaHa.

My method:Fill ziploc bag with some rice (however much you want for each color). Drop food coloring in, zip the bag up, shake it up, add more accordingly. I do NOT use alcohol, coolaid, or anything else. Just rice and food coloring. Let this dry for at least 6 hours or more and enjoy.
 

 

Our set up was outside on a beautiful fall day. We were very spread out too. She had a blast, and was occupied for at least 45 minutes. The funniest part was she didn’t want me to play with her AT ALL.



I love these scoops.



Pouring...



We made a smiley face together.



She had to have swept the rice for at least 15 minutes. If only we can transfer this learning to the house.



Transferring with a large spoon.

Homeschool weeks 21, 22, & 23

What fun we have had! I have just been very lazy with my picture taking. I am regretting that now as I blog about our 'letter focus' work. I only took 3 pictures the whole week of the letter "W." This is why I put 3 weeks on this blogpost.

 

 

Week 21

V is for VOLCANO

 

The stamping turned into dot painting and identifying the uppercase and the lowercase letters.

 

Tracing
I did the big V and she is tracing over it.
She did the little v.

 

Tracing turned into stickering, once again I tried to do a pattern with her.

 

Stickering turned into FACE DECORATING

 

Tracing her Doc McStuffins again

 

 

OUR VOLCANO EXPERIMENT

 

 

playdoh as the volcano mold
vinegar with red food coloring
baking soda

 

Jordyn got to add the baking soda

 

We had talked about how lava was HOT!! She wanted to get as far away from it as she could.

She was blowing on it!

 

WEEK 22

W is for WINDOW

 

 

WWWWaffles with blueberries

 

Tracing her Circles before letter work

Tracing her lines

 

 

 

 

WEEK 23

X is for Xylophone

THEME: INSTRUMENTS

 

 

THE ELLIOTT BAND
Jordyn on the triangle,
Daddy on the noisy thing,
Caleb on the bells,
Mommy as the videographer

 

Here is our lead singer:
Colin  Sir   Elliott

 

Not sure if the band will be together long...

 

Jordyn was the triangle queen morning, noon, and night for this week. HELP!!!

 

 

This is our new set up for Calendar/Praise Time in the morning.
Our new praise time board correlates to the buckets that are attached to the shelf. She 'draws' the color, shape, animal, and letter of the DAY out of them. The books on the shelf are switched out everyday. I got this new shelf b/c I felt like I wasn't reading to her as often as I wanted to. This is a very good visual aid to remind us to read during this time.
