I LISTEN AND OBEY; I BUILD MY LIFE ON THE ROCK.
Some items that start with the letter Rr.
Books we used for this unit.
WORKSHEETS
Working on her handwriting.
Doing her cuisenaire rod worksheet, identifying objects that start with the letter R, reviewing her picture cards, and working on her cut and paste worksheet.
She has loved the little booklets, read this one with no help. Working on another cut and past worksheet and her handwriting.
Did her sight word worksheet with a breeze this time around, I'm so proud how far she has gotten with reading. Worked on her blend ladder and drawing worksheets.
I bought this Reading Readiness workbook for Kanani to practice more on her reading. She did this worksheet all on her own, so proud of her improvements.
Working on her rhyming worksheets.
MATH
This math worksheet was super easy for her, she finished it really fast. I'm so glad we added MATH U SEE this time around, this week we have been working on counting my hundred and counting by 10.
ARTS & CRAFTS
This week Kanani actually painted rocks in her co-op class, no surprise she went with pink.
Kanani pointed this picture we have hanging in the living room out to me. Perfect picture to go with our rock unit. My older brother made this for us last year on our first family trip as a family of 4 to Florida. Kanani also made some rock family of our own but I forgot to take pictures of it.
We made some moon rocks, which was a pretty fun activity. Used 4 cups of baking soda, gold, silver, and white glitter, black food coloring, and 1/4 cup of water. We mixed all the ingredients together and then rolled them into little balls and let them dry for 24 hours.
ACTIVITIES/GAMES
Placed some activities on the rug for Dartanian to play with. Since we were doing the letter R this week I placed items with the color of the rainbow. He really enjoyed the stacking and hammering activities the most.
To continue with our rainbow them the kids had a blast in their polka dot tent filled with rainbow color ball pit balls. On the right side is a picture of our rainbow shelf, one of my favorite shelves.
Cut a soup box to make her this salt tray for her to practice her handwriting. She loved seeing the rainbow colors when she would write a letter.
Saw this idea on Pinterest I believe but can't find the link for it. I set up a basket with 12 ball pit balls and a muffin tray. I showed Dartanian what I wanted him to do only one time and then he proceeded to do it on his own. Of course Kanani wanted to join him in the activity.
Set up two pans one with sand and the other with rocks to do the presentation of the story of the man who build his house on the rocks and the other in sand.
SCIENCE
Kanani first placed the rocks in order from largest to smallest, then she divided them into three groups: large, medium, and small.
She used the rocks to form the letter Rr.
After reading this cute book Kanani placed the rocks into three sections: sedimentary, metamorphic, and ingenious. We also learned about the rock cycle.
MOVIES/VIDEOS
After reading the story of the man who built his house on the rock we saw the movie "Veggie Tales: The little house that stood", it went perfect with the story.
Watched the video of the rock cycle by "The Mysteries of Life with Tim and Moby, and learned about rock formation on "The Magic School Bus".

MEMORY VERSUS
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
~James 1:22
POEM
OBEDIENCE
By: Author Unknown
If you're told to do a thing,
And mean to do it really,
Never let it be by halves,
But do it fully freely.
Do not make a poor excuse,
Waiting, weak, unsteady;
All obedience worth the name,
Must be prompt and ready.
CLASSICAL MUSIC
Strauss: Thunder and Lightning Polka
We ended up doing this unit in 2 weeks due to family being in town. It's always fun when family come to visit, just love how flexible our schedule can be when stuff like that happens with no notice, one of the many benefits that come with homeschooling. Hope you enjoy our rock unit as much as we did.
GOD BLESS!
