Day 3 Pumpkin Theme

Our pumpkin theme is half over, hard to believe!

Our day 3 activities we did a little more only because

we are taking day 4 as a family day and to get

ready for trick or treaters to come by.

Here is an overview:

Coloring his fruit to cut and paste

into the basket.  Today we learned

about Joy and Peace.

All done!!! 

This is our word family game

with "ck" words!

He picked up pumpkins and then

lined them up on the correct word family line.

Reading his word!

I think this was a little too easy for him though.

I'm going to have to come up with something

more challenging for my learning bud!

Reading all the words!

Yay!!! I did them all!!!

Journal Time in the Writing Center

He draws a picture first of what he wants to

write about.  Then dictates to me what he wants to

say.  I write it on the writing center folder

and he copies it into his journal.

Working hard!

Yay!!! I know the picture doesn't show his journal

very good. :(  But he drew a picture of Mario, Luigi,

and the Toadstools and wrote the following:

"How do you beat the mushrooms? Mario, Luigi and the

toadstools jump on them."

Sight Word Search

Found a new use for our stampers!

He stamped the words he found.

Sight Word Writing Time

Working on the word "look".

He traced the word and then wrote 4 sentences

using the word "look".

Again he told me the sentences and he copied them.

Our number board from Lakeshore Learning.

Working on the number 7.

He had to find the following:

fraction

tally

tens frame

one to one correspondence

All done!

Yay!!!

Tens Frame Pumpkin Worksheets from COAH

Another great use four our stampers,

especially since he still doesn't like to color.

He made his own game with it.

He'd do bullet sounds every time

he stamped, pretending to kill spiders

that wanted to get the pumpkins. LOL

And of course little brother ALWAYS

curious and getting into everything!

 

But he never did get distracted (that's a first)!!!

Come back for Day 5, since Day 4 is Halloween

and we are taking a break! But Day 5 will be full

of science stuff!!! :)

Have Fun and Be a Blessing!

Rainbow of Promise

This week our theme is Rainbows.  We will be reading Noah's Ark and different rainbow theme books.  To learn the colors of the rainbow, we watched the Cat in the Hat episode on rainbows to learn the rainbow color song - it's really cute.  Here is our poster board for this week:

This is a math activity, I made the arks by drawing them

on construction paper and putting the even numbers on them.

The animals I printed from HERE, I had him match the boy and girl

animals together then place the correct number of animals on the ark.

This sorting activity, I found clipart off of Microsoft Online

and looked for animals that were facing left and right.

I created columns in MS Word and labeled them left and right.

My son sorted the animals by the direction they were facing.

Sidewalk Chalk Art

I helped him make the rainbow, and he colored it in.

Then we wrote "God's Promise" on it.

This was daddy's surprise when he came home.

I put a rainbow coloring page underneath a white sheet of paper

and had my little guy trace the rainbow.  He decided to use

the colors of the rainbow to make it and colored in the clouds.

Have more to come...

I have a rainbow size sorting activity.

Rainbow tic tac toe game.

Rainbow science activities.

And some rainbow crafts still to complete.

I'll also take pictures of our Noah's Ark story boards

from Oriental Trading (I'm very impressed with it!).

Have fun and Be a Blessing!
