Last week went great. Bubs and Z are really enjoying their new bins and Bubs is doing great with the "harder" work. Z gets bummed when I tell him he can't do the harder bins, but I've been working with him and his number 1-5, recognition and counting, and he's doing great! He loves searching through the bucket of shells to pick out the perfect ones.
Last week we concentrated on the letter T - practicing its sound and practicing writing it. Thursday we did a bunch of turtle activities.
They started by doing a T is for Turtle worksheet, where Bubs practiced writing her capital and lowercase Ts.
Then for the rest of the morning we created our own awesome foam turtles (an awesome $1 grab in the craft department at WalMart)!!!
As for Babe, we are continuing to keep track of her grandparents as they travel cross-country!
I also grabbed all Calvert-provided picture books that she read throughout Kindergarten and piled them up in front of her. She was proud of the fact she read them all!!!
After reminding herself of them all, I had her choose her favorite one. She did.
Then I had her write a letter to the author (or in this case, adapter) of the story.
I forgot to take a picture of the letter, but while Babe was writing it, Bubs practiced her lowercase Ts on manuscript paper, just like her big sis.
Babe is keeping up her reading beautifully. She read six books last week, as per the two book a day deal. Amazing!!!
We ended the week with a trip to one of the local beaches, duh!!!
This week we are continuing with the same bins, and concentrating on the letter F. Read more about it at the end of the week!
