Our week 3/12-3/16

We didn't spend as much time in the school room as we usually do. We had plans with friends a couple of days and the weather was really nice one day, so we spent most of it outside. Monday was the only day we spent as much time as usual in the school room and Tuesday we did a little bit.

Our shelves

Number play

This was mainly to practice tracing the #2, but I also

put 2 each of several items in the bowl. After pairing

them I was going to have us work on skip counting

by two's. But we didn't get to this one this week.

Kumon activities

We didn't do these this week. She saw them at one

point and was excited for it, but we never got back 

to it.

Phonics

This is always one of her favorite activities. I put

two animals for each letter in the bowl this time.

It only threw her off when she got to the 4th animal

she pulled out and it didn't match her remaining letter.

She tried to put it in the right spot and take the other

one off, but then it had no where to go. Once she

realized there could be two on the same letter, she

finished quickly.

Sticker mosaic

Usually a hit, but we didn't do it this week.

Counting puzzle

She had fun with this one, but it didn't challenge

her at all.

Lacing cards

She loves lacing as long as I don't put it out too

often. She chose the pig this week.

Transferring

Transferring using tongs. I also had her sort them.

She always loves transferring activities. This one

was a bit more challenging because these tongs

have more tension than the ones she usually uses.

I finally finished our light box. This has been on my to-do list for about 3 months, so I was excited to finally get to it. 

 

Some school-time pictures

Kumon workbooks

I don't usually get pictures of it or mention it, but

she LOVES her Kumon workbooks. Especially

mazes. We have a stack of workbooks and she

picks them almost every day. She will do a handful

of pages from each. She would go straight through

the entire book of mazes in one sitting if I didn't

slow her down!

I did something kind of crazy. I let her dump out

every container from my supply closet. It's mostly

all the different things I use for sensory tubs, sorting,

transferring, and phonics.

 She had a blast dumping them out and playing

in them! She called it "play soup". It was a much

bigger mess than it appears in the pictures! We

did at least get a little bit of educational value

out of it. We played "I spy" and worked on

being descriptive. It took myself and DH, with

"help" from Monkey, over half an hour

to get everything sorted back out and put

away. It was fun, but I think it will be a while

before we do Play Soup again!

Just a few fun non-school time pictures
