I love Monday morning!  Started as usual with the everyday blessings reading and found the chapter and verse in the Bible too. Read chapter 3 in Faith and Life, about God the creator.  The poem All Things Bright and Beautiful is the main part of the chapter, so we read it and I quickly googled it.  Sure enough, up pops a children's choir video of the song on YouTube!  Then we went in to Elyse's room and read the same poem that is on her wall that Grandma Mary cross-stitched for Sylvia when she was a baby!  Talk about lesson reinforcement!  Reading, video on the internet and looking at the craft on her wall!! I LOVE this homeschool stuff just for that reason alone!!! 

Song we watched 

Math- worked on patterns, I just made up some and she finished them. This is easy for her, so I tried to make them difficult.  We moved on to memorizing doubles, she still needs to memorize 6+6, 7+7, 8+8, 9+9.  then we reviewed the easy math facts- (sums less than 10) using the triangle number family cards from Grandma. We did the test on page A1.2 and she got 16/25 correct. didnt get to finish 6 of them and missed 2. 8+8. Did worksheet 7A together and  she will do the other side at rest time.  Days of the week, ordinal numbers, writing one more, one less, digital time and some math facts. 

Reading from Devotional Stories for Little Folks- Not "That" Sister. Learned that "love isn't how we feel, it is a way that we act."

A new spelling list! Some of these are harder so she is more excited about them.  vowel e, blends of gl and cr. I gave her 3 minutes to do that 8 questions in the workbook to challenge it a bit more. mixed up her b and d in writing crib.  immediately saw it and fixed it. 

We had time for about 5 min of recorder, but will do more tomorrow. 

Here is some artwork from preschool. 

I think the ladybug in the grass is very clever!
