Happy belated Valentine's day & President's day!

Well it was president's week last week and we did a theme history book on George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Well for my kindergartener....the 2 preschoolers got to color pictures of them, the White House and the American Flag. We are getting pretty far into addition all the way up to 9+9 and even adding with a zero! I think since we have been focusing on that for ....this will be our 3rd week that next week we are going to move onto subtraction. The new book we are trying "Teach your child to read in 100 easy lessons" is working wonderfully right now! Smith kid #2 is able to read the full sentences now at the end of the lesson with little to no help! We also do writing sentences at the end that he has to sound out to figure what letters to write! He is doing so awesome!

 

We also went to a Valentine's Day party at our homeschool group and all the kids had a great time and made crafts....I love being able to get together with other homeschool moms!

 

This week we are on Friendship and Manners and are talking about what manners are how we use them. We are also talking about friends and situations we run into with friends and how to handle them!

 

Other then that we still do our daily journal and extra math by learning even or odd and now counting by 10s to 100, by 5s to 100 and by 2s up to 10 so far.

 

Here are some pictures of what has happened since I last posted.

 

 

 

Here is our February clock.

I am obsessed with Pintrest and I got this idea off of there and we have there laying around the house and they are too small for me to use for wipes and since we have so many doctor appointments we have to go to....I need to keep the kids minds occupied.

I thought this was brilliant! It fits nicely into my diaper bag and keeps them all from breaking (well for the most part) and the kids can now color while waiting! I went to Target and in there $1 section grabbed a few coloring books one for each child and it has been nice for them to have this ONLY for the diaper bag!

 

This is the Folk Art class Smith kid #2 is taking at the local library. Here he is weaving a mat! 

Here you can see Smith kid #5 peeking over the table to see what his older brother is doing! LOL

As you can see there are quite a few children there. Its great for the kids to see other homeschooled kids and interacting for a class.

 

HAPPY PRESIDENT'S DAY!

Here is Smith kid #3

Smith kid #4 (yes she did preschool in her pjs! HA HA HA)

Smith kid #2

 

We did Abraham Lincoln as our art. It is just a paper plate they colored black with black construction paper as the hat and then construction paper around the back to hold it on their heads! The kids love it! We do it almost every year.

 

 

Next week we will be doing wind! Happy early Spring! We cannot wait for the weather. All the kiddos have some really bad cabin fever.
