Hi everyone! I know I missed posting a recap of our week, but instead of spending time talking about the past I am going to move forward. We have moved on to the unit Oo Octopus this week. My girls were super excited. They love learning about the ocean and all its sea creatures.
Since I haven't posted many pictures as of yet, I'll give you a look at how our typical school day goes with My Father's World Kindergarten curriculum.
We always start the day out with our calendar time. In this picture, Brina is telling you how many days there are in a week.
After going over days of the week and the date, we move on to counting how many days of school we've had so far. Brina is learning the concept of place value. She can count by tens to 100 now.
Once calendar time is done, we move on to her pre-k learning notebook. The name printable is from a homeschooling friend named Dawn. You can see her blog and find links to her printables athttp://mamasmonkeys.blogspot.com/. The rest of the printables shown in her notebook are from Confessions of a Homeschooler. You can find the preschool daily learning notebook here: https://www.confessionsofahomeschooler.com/blog/2012/09/preschool-daily-learning-notebook.html. I find it to be an invaluable tool for calendar time.
Once this is done, we move on to learning about our letter of the week. I don't have pictures of everything we did because, well, I was teaching. We reviewed letter names and sounds, sang the Aa Apple song and practiced printing the letter O and identifying the letter. This printable is also from my fellow blogger Dawn mentioned above. She made sheets to complement My Father's World K for the younger students going through the program. Brina's motor skills lag sometimes, so we continue to use these for extra practice.
We ended our school day with reading a cute little book, and making a cute little octopus.
I hope you enjoyed reading about our school day! If you noticed we didn't do any formal math, we are thinking about dropping Math U See Primer. It's just getting to be boring for her. I think we may go ahead and order Singapore Essential Math K, but haven't quite decided yet. Thanks so much for stopping by!

It all looks very well organised. That is a cute octopus craft you did - thanks for sharing. Look forward to hearing more about your adventures and how you cope with 2 together - I am starting this year with a 2 and 5 year old and still trying to sort out how to handle both of them together.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment! I could never be organized on my own! I have learned so much from other blogs and some homeschooling forums I'm own. It helps that the curriculum is very organized itself.
ReplyDeleteI thought the craft would be cute too! The girls really enjoyed it. We still need to go get some yarn and a single hole punch so we can hang them up!
Good luck in finding your way! Keep me updated! Are you using My Father's World as well?
