We are starting with the basics a different letter, color, number, and shape each week.
Dartanian is always wanting to join us during school time, so what perfect time then now.
This week we will be working on the letter Aa, number 1, color Red, and the circle shape. I'm not worried for teaching him everything in a week, I think this is a two week process for him. At his age he is always on the goal and concentrates about 5 minutes at a time, if that. Just trying to give him the basics for now.
He is ready to start his own little lessons. Such a handsome little man.
BOOKS
Here are some of the books we used this week
WRITING PRACTICE
Some of our letter Aa items
Wrote the letter Aa on the chalk board and he tired his best to copy the letter.
MATH
The number 1 items we used this week.
Observing and saying the number 1
Even though he only writes straight lines to me that's a step to writing.
ARTS & CRAFTS
While we sat at the table doing some school work little man wanted to join in on the action. I gave him some paper and he picked out some crayons and began his art work. I wrote the letter Aa on the paper and he would point at it and say A. He even tired copying the letter.
ACTIVITIES
Here he was working with the Leap Frog magnetic letters, he would place the letter A in the slot and it would tell him what letter and sound it was. He kept repeating each time he pressed down on it.
Placed several puzzles on the table of shapes and colors for him to work on. He did such an amazing job putting the pieces where they belong.
Put together a bin of rainbow pasta with some letters in it. Had Kanani match the letters while Dartanian would pick out the letters and hand them to Kanani. Each time he would hand her a letter she would tell him what the letter was and the sound. Love when they work together, she is such an awesome big sister. Always willing to help out in any possible.
Fun with water, they love playing in the water. Great way to end the day.
Cutting practice with our Melissa & Doug cutting fruit.
Playing with his Leap Frog Phonics Radio
Put together a magnet bin for the kids so they could explore the magnetic forces of magnetism. Bought a Magnetic Mania that came with two magnetic wands, 10 magnet marbles, 50 counting chips, and a booklet. I also added extra magnets we had so hey could search for them in the rainbow pasta. They have been playing with this for 30 minutes already. I'm so glad they are enjoying it. Kanani even put together some of the chips to make different colors.
He started counting the magnetic marbles on his magnetic want, even though he only counts to three it was cute watching him try.
SCIENCE
Kanani has been learning about creatures underground, so we were looking for earthworms. Dartanian loved helping dig in the dirt looking for earthworms.
VIDEOS
Borrowed this movie from the library, since Netflix doesn't have Sesame Street any more.
FIELD TRIP
Went to the skating ring with our wonderful co-op HEART of Raeford for our end of party. It was Dartanian's first time skating, wish I would of caught it on video (which I actually thought I did) but for someone reason it didn't record. He had a lot of fun, I was so proud of how well he did.
He has made such wonderful friends in his class and has grown so independent.
He definitely enjoyed his cupcake, well the frosting of the cupcake.
END OF THE WEEK
Ended our week playing in the rain. It has been raining pretty much all week. They love the water, our little fish.
It has been a very fun week teaching Dartanian about the letter Aa. Next week we will continue with our lessons on the color red, circle, number 1, and review letter Aa.
Hope you enjoy our little lessons. Each day we try learning in 10 minute intervals, which is usually how long little man usually keeps his focus. He's constantly on the go.
GOD BLESS!
