I wanted to spend another week on C since we didn’t really finish everything last week. I figure there is no reason to rush! So we had a nice relaxing week just finishing up our C work and decided to do a bit of an impromptu Angry Birds theme. It really all started when we…
I’ve finished the add-ons for units 6-10 of the You Can Read program at 1+1+1=1. Baloo really enjoys these pages but they seem a bit challenging for him at the same time. His favorite this past week was the spy words pages. He loved using the magnifying glass! Here are the downloads for units 6-10!…
We are still in recovery mode here but somehow we still managed to have a fun week!! We were concentrating on the letter C, the color yellow, and cats. Here was Royal’s set-up this week: He is starting to understand that the letters are the ABCs. He can usually point out B so I’m hoping…
Baloo and I have been working on his first kindergarten lapbook for about a week and a half now. He saw Dolphin Tale with Daddy a few weeks ago and was so interested in dolphins! Then his Gigi sent him a book about the movie Dolphin Tale and he was hooked. So I asked him…
We started using our new kindergarten workbox labels this week and it did not go as planned. I need to figure out how much he needs to accomplish in one day. We got about half of our planned work done this week, of course we did have 1 unexpected day off and we’re still dealing…
Every few months I get the urge to change things up and this time we actually switched 2 rooms out. Our living room and toy room were swapped. And with that move, I combined the school room and the toy room…and also my “office” and an extra bed. It’s taking a multi-purpose room to a…
We really kicked off our studies of the 5 senses this week! I chose to start with touch. First we made a touchy/feely hand. I wanted to get 5 textures that I could easily cut and glue onto paper. I got satiny fabric, a sheet protector, sandpaper, and some leftover minky fabric. For all of…
Royal is 29.5 months We went ahead and did B again this week since last week was such a bust. Royal actually did something with most of the sheets from the B is for Ball tot printables at 1+1+1=1 but I only got pictures of him working on this one (2 separate times!). Sometimes he…
Baloo is 5 years 2 months We had a really feel good homeschooling week. One of those weeks where we went with the flow and it all just seemed to work out. We didn’t get everything done and it was far from perfect, but looking back on it I’m thinking it was just right. Our…
I’m making these as Royal is ready for them, so here is the next in our color cut and glue sheets! Brown And I’ve uploaded all the previous color sheets to the new domain! RedOrangeGreenYellowBlue With these I usually cut out all the pictures, identify them with Royal, and let him glue…
Another thing Baloo really enjoys is graphing. I found out how much he loved it when we started our sight word graphing game! The biggest problem I’ve had with graphing is finding things to graph! A lot of kindergarten classes will take a poll and graph the answers but we only have 5 people in…
Baloo really enjoys writing so I am doing my best to take advantage of that!! I was inspired by Mama Jenn’s Calendar Notebooks but with just one child writing I didn’t really need to separate everything in quite the same way. And Baloo is not quite old enough to do it all by himself so…
