K helped me make her letter for the unti "M" on the floor today while she danced over it saying "mmmmm" when I began to take her picture she stopped and gave me this face below - I think it's hilarious! And yes, she's wearing the tutu and white tights today (the pink ones I made disappear down the laundry chute yesterday). ;o)
K's Bible story was about Elijah building an altar to God and asking God to send fire down on it from heaven so that the people who didn't believe in God would know that Elijah was worshiping & praying to the one and only TRUE God!
For her activity, K had to make an altar like Elijah's altar out of playdoh...of course she picked PINK! She rolled the playdoh into little balls for the "stones" then rolled "logs" to place on top.
She surrounded the altar with "water" (flat pink playdoh in a circle) and then made some flames on the water and logs because when God sent the fire from heaven down it consumed the altar AND the water which was AMAZING!
The finished project...
D did "tasty math" again - what he named writing fact families using butterscotch chips. I told him we're only doing this the days we wait for his new math books to arrive (hopefully they'll be here by Thurs!). He did well and could tell me the facts from yesterday that he did - both addition & subtraction...yeah!
He finished the HOP chapter book he was reading so we'll move onto another chapter book tomorrow. He read about short/long "o" words in Phonics Pathways and struggled a bit...he will guess the word and then look at me to help him which I refuse to do so I point his eyes back to the book. He's learning the "rules" but he does not like the nonsense list of words to read. :o(
He wrote the first part of his Bible verse for this unit (Matt 6:9-12 "The Lord's Prayer" passage) and did a really nice job making his letters close together for each word with a "finger space" between the words. I was impressed - didn't get a picture of the paper, sorry!
D's Bible story was about Jesus praying in the garden the night he was betrayed by Judas (with a kiss). We talked about how Judas' kiss wasn't given out of love, but that our kisses are given out of love.
D's activity was to draw a large set of lips and write the names of people you love inside. K wanted in on this activity to - D objected but I let K participate because I knew what was coming. They were to put on "lipstick" using jelly, chocolate sauce or real lipstick - I chose jelly (grape for D and strawberry for K). When I showed them what they were to do (put on the "lipstick" and kiss the paper all over until the jelly was used up from their lips) D ran away from the table and halfway up the steps. K objected to doing it because of D's fuss. So I did it and then K came back to the table and did it when she realized how fun it was. :o)
Jelly "lipstick" on the lips...
Kissing the paper...
Admiring her kisses & big kiss lips...
D opted to just draw lips...
and then had a fit about me taking his picture so he moved the paper off the table and gave me this face...
And that was the end of our school day. :o)
