I made a concerted effort to get it together this week. We
had some really fun projects. For our reading day, we took the alphabet cards
we made in an earlier week and attached pictures of items starting with those
letters that the girls found and cut out in magazines. Anna liked the cutting
practice. Towards the end, it started getting difficult to find things that
began with certain letters. Notably, z and q were easy (zipper and queen). X,
not so much.
For science, we continued our discussion of plants and
talked about leaves and their jobs. Then we made leaf prints of a variety of
leaves from our yard. Rachael was very detailed in painting her leaves as you
can see.
We made rainbow arches for art and talked about color order.
Rachael hung hers on the fridge, and every time I see it out of the corner of
my eye while I’m at the stove cooking, I’m startled thinking someone is
standing there watching me.
We worked on estimation during our math project. We talked
about guessing and then educated guessing using pompoms in different sized
mason jars. In retrospect, I would use something not so squishy so that our
educated guesses would be closer. The girls mostly liked putting the pompoms in
and taking them out again.
