Welcome Back!!!

This has been our first attempt at starting school back since the baby brother has been born.  I wasn't sure how things were going to go, but in a way having a baby brother has been a blessing in disguise.  Jordan is exerting himself more and trying to do things more on his own (especially when I have to feed the baby and he knows mom can't help).  This should really help when we officially start kindergarten in the fall, especially since I was hoping to institute more learning centers for independent time, so I'm very excited it's falling into place! :)

What we are learning...

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!
