Sharing some of the things we do.
How We Learn
A learning environment for our entire family.
Morning Meeting
“Does anyone
know the month?”
“Let’s count from the first day of the month to
today.”
We count to any holiday or birthday, then push the number of
today and take the elevator up,up up to discover the day of the week. We all have our own pointers for this. Next we sing the days of the week song, in
one or two ways. I then point, my pointer
to the blue even numbers on our hundreds chart and yell TWO, FOUR, SIX, EIGHT
Who Do We Appreciate? The kids yell names of people in our family, God, ext… We then sing the months of the year twice, pretty
fast. The second time ends with us
rolling on the floor yelling NOOOOOOOOOO! I take the pointers and put them away
as we go to roll, this helps them let go of their pointers.
We enjoy this spot near the warm wood stove vent.
Our youngest's desk :).

Reading
we are just beginning.
We are using Bob Books and All About Spelling Phonogram cards

Tic Tac's {grape} and finger lights.
Biology-Geography
We study a different animal everyday
using classroom resource books and magazines.
The animals are chosen by request from the kiddo's or by their interests.
After reading and talking about our animal we pretend to travel to it's location and rescue it.
Leaving on our ship the North America we head off traveling various oceans
to our destination where we can defeat the bad guy rescue our animal and return hero's.
