I find it a little amusing that the week we are working on our Sun unit, it is completely overcast all week! Thursdays are a little hectic around here because it is house cleaning day for me, woohoo! I actually really enjoy cleaning but not when I'm trying to juggle school, cleaning, and keeping 3 kids alive (feeding them and cleaning up after them, etc.) We did manage to survive another Thursday though and get every thing done that we had planned. We always start our day with the Calendar and our counting to 100 activities. We also sang through the alphabet a couple of times together and I quizzed Johnny on his letters. He knows them all. Charlie still needs a bit of work, but he'll get there :-) Next, we played a matching game with the first 13 letters of the alphabet and the boys enjoyed that. After this I started taking pictures, so this is the rest of what we did:
The boys made letters out of play dough.
Charlie worked on some pre-writing skills.
Johnny working on a Cuisinare Rods page.
This is not a good picture of the boys but Charlie is showing of his sequencing work.
Lacing
Completed Lacing
We checked on our raisins today and drew what they looked like.
This is what Johnny would rather be building things with the cusinare rods.
Our sundial without any sun.
The sun came out just long enough for us to record one time and it was 1:35 pm.
We also made some sun tea which actually isn't really sun tea since the sun wasn't out. I suppose we should call it overcast tea. Either way, it still worked. Tomorrow we get to play with our friends at the park and hopefully there will be sun so that we can see our shadows!!
