Marvelous Monday

LHTH-UNIT 5

Letter-Ee

Number-6

Bible-Joseph becomes a leader.

Practicing tracing sandpaper letters for the letters we have learned so far.

I somehow skipped the Wikki Stix when we learned the letter Dd, but I remembered today when we introduced Ee.  He loves the Wikki Stix and will do them proper for a few minutes then he piles more and more on until he grows tired of it and he will help pick them all up and place them back in our ziploc bag.

Here is our finished number 6 worksheet.  We glued 6 pictures of pillows onto our paper.

LHTH Unit 5

Believe it or not, we have actually done LHTH everyday this week including Tuesday and Thursday!  It is going great.  Normally one of the girls helps me teach Wiggles.

They take turns on Tuesday and Thursday helping him do Abeka pages while I am teaching the other kids.

This week was review from A-D.  I didn’t get a lot of pictures, but we had fun.  I am loving using Playtime Devotions as his devotional.

 

Riding our Thomas trains on the A.  BTW, never use your husband’s double sided industrial tape (he is an electrician) on carpet and leave for more than a day.  It is like cement.  I had to pry the A from the carpet and you can see where it left a mark in the shape of A.  Lesson learned.  If you can’t find your masking tape, do not grab something just because it looks similar.

We learned about Joseph and his coat of many colors.  Here Wiggles is making a rainbow of stripes like the coat on his coffee filter.

Tadpole helping Wiggles with his B project.

His finished B project. 

This is from LHTH.  We thinned some glue with water.  Wiggles painted it on his B with a q-tip and then sprinkled decorating sprinkles on top.  It turned out great and colorful.

This has been an excellent week and we are now moving smoothly through our day with all the kids and schooling.

Unit 4

We finally finished Unit 4 of LHTH. It tooks us 3 weeks! Public school got out the last week of May so we had a lot of awards assemblies to go to as well as Bubba’s kindergarten program. Then, I started schooling the big kids at home. So finally Wiggles has finished Unit 4 and we are back on track schooling.

Here is Wiggles putting Tigger Tails (macaroni shaped like Tigger’s tail) on his Dd page for LHTH.

Big Sis helping Wiggles write D and d in cornmeal after practicing with our sandpaper letters.

Trying it by himself.

These are our art work from the local library’s storytime.

I also made a schedule to keep all of us on track. I color coded it by kid and the together activities are their colors together…their names are on it but I blacked them out for the web.

Still Learning

We are still doing LHTH, but we have slowed down quite a bit since I have started schooling the big kids also.  This week, I plan to get back into doing LHTH M,W,F with Wiggles.

  

This is some horrible picture taking on my part.  Here Wiggles is jumping to “Rachel”.  We are learning about Isaac and his sons.  What you can’t see is the strip of masking tape that he was jumping from to his stuffed animal that was Rachel.  Then we marked his jumps and compared them shorter, farther, and closest.  As I said, horrible picture taking skills. 

Here he is reading his Bible.  He always wants to read it himself after we are through.

Here he is doing tiny pom poms through the straw hole of a Cane’s cup.

Pouring kidney beans from the bucket to the measuring cup.

   

I’ll just be honest.  I don’t know what he is working on here.  He is having snack and working on one of his sheets while watching Word World.

This is one of his extras.  BTW, he shares a room with big brother (my 2 yr old does not have this many game systems).  He does have a Little Leaps Learning System which is great.  Here he is playing Thomas with some help from Big Sis.  These aren’t video games and you (or one of your bigger kids) do have to help your child with it.

Leap Frog, unfortunately, has discontinued these.  They are much better than Vsmile baby.  You can still find them on Ebay for a good price with the dvd’s.
