Last week, we learned about the letter L. The kids did activities around it's sound, practiced writing Ls and also practiced writing the number 3. We also introduced the topic of patterns.
The kids' favorite library book this week was called "Caps for Sale" by Esphyr Slobodkina (that's a mouthful). We read it a bunch and acted it out one day.
We rounded up all the hats we could find and tried to stack them on Nathan's head.
Then the monkeys stole them!
Another day we took a nature walk, in search for leaves.
It drizzled a bit, and was super humid... even more than normal for our area...
But we still had fun hunting for leaves. And the big kids love any excuse to use their umbrellas!
Later that afternoon, we painted with leaves, attempting to make leaf silhouettes.
The kids also enjoyed doing some leaf rubbings.
Even Ruthie got involved - she knows when she's missing out and feels the need to do everything big brother and sister can do.
Nathan's also been working through two BOB books this week (super basic beginner reader books). He read one to Daddy Friday night before bed.
He is very smart and knows his letters & sounds. He even tells me everyday, "let's do school today, I want to work hard". But when it comes time to actually work hard, he loses interest and concentration fast. Learning to concentrate on reading & writing has been the biggest obstacle. But we're making slow progress.
