HOMESCHOOL DAY #1

  First we made a few more weather descriptions  and the days of the week to go along with the ones we had. (month, date, and some weather descriptions) Making them required JJ to help me type them up, we printed them, cut them out, and then we put them through the laminate machine. It took quiet a while and now I need to buy some more Velcro but all in all its nice to have more options for him to choose from.
  Then we just made out letter tracing papers A-Z after a few mess ups and changes, I made them black and will let him trace using homemade paint the color of the week so we can use these same tracers week after week.
  I decided to start with the Zoo as our main subject. So this month we have A-alligator, B-bear, C-cheetah D-duck, E-elephant, F-fox, G-giraffe, H-hippopotamus I-iguana, J-Jaguar, K- kangaroo, L-lion, M- meerkat, N-newt, O-ostrich, P-penguin, Q- quail, R-rabbit S-snake T-turtle U-urchin V-vulture W-wolf X-Xenopus: a frog Y-yak Z-zebra. that list was actually kind of hard to come up with. I did my best to pick animals that we can see at the local zoo or science center. I also wanted all real animals that I can show him online. I think this will help him start to connect with the letters.
  I picked out some of his books that have to do with the zoo and animals to read each day as well as our nightly books that are now focused around the animals he will be learning about.I plan to take this month as a trial to see how in depth he is ready to get into each of the subjects.


I am excited to say that we are going to make a felt board soon as well as some felt letters and numbers. I am pretty excited.

HERE GOES NOTHING!!! :)
