Snapshots of the month

Some snapshots of our month...

Matching numbers to number words.


Matching bids to make a compound word.


Lainey loves to put together our math cubes!


This was what out playroom looked like one day- yikes!!! Gasp!!! 


I have an app on my iPad with real life pictures and videos of famous landmarks. Here is Connor building the Petronas Towers in Malaysia.




We also have these famous world landmark/buildings magnets. Noah knows so many of them. He likes the "Egypt pyramids and sphinx of Giza" and "Russia" and "the Great Wall of China".



Here is Lainey participating some more.


Connor reading words on an ant and then feeding it through line I cut out an ant eater to "feed the ant eater". This game came with his reading curriculum.


Here's Lainey again! Grabbing stickers off the table! What a cool girl!


Here we are playing the game "I have... Who has..." With sight words. For example, we read our card and call out "I have want, who has them?" And whoever has "them" shouts- "I do! I have..." And on.


A reading game for when "y" says the sound "i" (in a one-syllable word with a consonant before it).


Doing our "number of the day" math activity.


Learning how to divide words into syllables to break down long words to make them easier to read- locating the two vowels an dividing between the two consonants between the vowels (by chopping the word on the log with the ax). Example- muf-fin, con-test.


Noah participating a little with magnets and puzzles.


This is a valentine's party with our large local homeschool community!! We had games, exercises, play and lunch.



Today we had a long "fluency sheet" to read. I numbered the columns and we rolled a dice. Connor read a word from the column with the number that he rolled. Then when he read the sentences, I put an m&m on the end of each one as an incentive.
