Day 2 of Oo Octopus

We continued with Oo Octopus today. I decided to go ahead and post again because we did extra school activities to kill some time waiting or UPS. We packed everything up and went to my mother-in-law's house. We did all of our calendar activities only using the pre-school learning notebook printables I showed you yesterday.

Here are a few pics just because my girls are cute.

We did something a little different today as well. I used some of Dawn's printables, from Our Little Monkeys blog, to play a little game. The game focused on graphing and counting. We rolled a homemade dice and would match up what sea creature it landed on with blocks on our graphs.

Once we got all the way to 10 with one of the animals, we quit rolling and completed a corresponding worksheet. The girls loved this activity. I was glad to get introduce the concept of graphing. This was a nice little introduction to the process.

Finally, we needed to get messy and have some fun. I wish I had pictures of the actual process. I was busy painting hands and trying to not get paint on my mother-in-laws table. We made a couple sea creatures using hand prints, google eyes, and glitter. We love glitter!

This was a difficult day of schooling for me as a mom. My oldest daughter was having issues today. She has some OCD tendencies and everything was upsetting her. She finally cheered up once we did these two activities and is now lying quietly in her bed.

Please check out Our Little Monkeys and Confessions of a Homeschooler! They have great printables that could supplement anyone's curriculum!
