Life gets busy & my blogs get neglected...we've had fun reading a lot of books about Cowboys, Buffalo, Prairie dogs, Prairies & the Wild West. :) The kids have enjoyed it. They made these cute little cowboys/girls early last week...K even chose pink "yarn" to be her lasso and colored her cowgirl's boots pink, too! :o)
The re-discovered the dry erase CRAYONS and had fun drawing pictures last week...
They drew a picture of the 3 of them in their treehouse. Not sure why there's a PacMan & Red Ghost cloud in the sky though?! :o)
We've played Telling Time Bingo, Monopoly Jr. and Up-Words as parts of our school the past week, too.
It's hard to believe this week marks the halfway point in our fall semester of co-op! The kids really enjoy it (after C's initial 5 minutes of crying in the nursery) and are planning play dates with their friends.
D is finishing up telling time in his math book - he is ready for a new challenge! K is just a few pages away from finishing her Earlybird math book. She has been counting by 5's!
K has been reading an easy reader book over and over each day. She's practicing it in order to read it to a therapy dog at the library next week. It's motivated her to "read" (along with coloring in a slice of pizza toward her October Book-It Pizza Hut award). We've shelved 100 Easy Lessons again and are working on recognizing/sounding out words in REAL books. She really likes it. :o)
D just finished reading The Marvelous Inventions of Albert Fernald last night. It was the perfect book for him because the boy invented/designed all sorts of gadgets and was caught up in a mystery. I picked it up for 10 cents at a garage sale this summer thinking I'd read it to him at bedtime and he ended up reading most of it himself! One night after tucking him in I said, "Isn't it fun to take a trip with a book?" He agreed and then told me to leave his room so he could begin reading. I LOVE it!
