This week in Nature/Science we will read You See With Your Eyes as we continue to explore our Five Senses. The children will practice matching color tablets (Montessori) and placing them in order. We will read "Seeing" in our Christian Liberty Nature Reader. We will play "I Spy" and a visual discrimination game called "Puzzlers". We will also practice matching objects to color words.
In Gardening we will plant peas, collards, and Swiss Chard into the garden (it rained on our planting day last week).
In Phonics/Language we will practice sorting objects beginning with "P" and "O" into letter tubs. The children will print O with quarters. We will play the Quiet Game and make a book about Quilla the Quenn (who is queen of a kingdom that is quiet). We will talk about when it is appropriate to be quiet and listen to a Social Story called "Waiting My Turn to Talk". The children will take turns acting out The Three Little Pigs this week. We will read and paint a picture about "The Jackdaw and the Peacocks" (an Aesop Fable). We wll also read The Quiet Mother and the Noisy Little Boy.
In Math we will continue to work with pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters.
In Bible we will read a story about Paul and Silas as we learn about the Fruit of the Spirit: Joy. We will make a joyful noise to the Lord as we sing and play our instruments.
In Music the children will practice making waves (slow and fast) to Mozart's Symphony No. 25. We will move in slow motion to "Quiet Time" and learn the motions to "Skip to My Lou".
