This and that.. homeschooling, this week

wrapping up a short vowel block. A wool board story

 tangrams and pattern block games, for afternoon pratice work, during our Language arts block
 The first bit of work on a fairy tale verse reader. The Golden Feather. She has the long verse down to memory and movement, and is really enjoying illustrating a book to help sight reading along.
 Jump rope work, in the morning. We start our day's work off with movement. A walk/skip/gallup around the block culminates in circle work before settling into the day's main lesson. Jumping rope is invaluable proprioceptive work. we weave in counting by #'s (2, 3, 4, 5 , 10) and rhyming verses. I tie off to my rearview mirror, for lack of  a rope turner!
 Academic verse work. Here: subtraction facts to 10. We do similar work for addition.

 Pattern work in the afternoon...  mandala building. Work/play with symmetry

 Symmetry mirror games. we each start with a side, then switch and build
 hand work. She wanted a break from knitting/weaving. Decided on god's eye ornament weaving.
 Indoor rainy day vestibular work ;)
 Our first word family block/week went fabulously
 crafting a pond peeker for our nature study work

 a bit of springy crafting.. pysanky.. a family tradition
 word building. Very exciting. I love watching the light bulb go on. She's so close!

 Vestibular play with friends on a rainy day

A  LONG wintry week.. but looking back, through photos.. so much deep connection and good work done. Breathing out gratitude!
