MONDAY:
We started the week off with his sound cards, which he colors, cuts apart, and puts in a labeled envelope.
We read the book "The Milk Makers," which is about how milk gets from dairy cows to our refrigerators! I found a free worksheet on Teachers Pay Teachers where Zeke could label the dairy cow. He had to look at the words to copy them in the correct squares.
We also worked on recognizing the number words one through six since this is a part of what he's learning in Abeka math. (I don't use the teacher's guide.) I just cut index cards in half and wrote the number word on one and the digit on the other. He matches them up or we play Concentration with them.
TUESDAY:
Zeke did his handwriting and sound discrimination worksheets.
I also found a free worksheet that had him tracing the farm animal names. He could always use a little practice with writing, and he enjoyed it.
WEDNESDAY:
Zeke did his math page (counting cows) and read a few words and glued them to the right pictures.
We read the book, "The Little Red Hen," which I know is about a hen and not cows, but it went well with our theme for the day. We were talking about milk products, but I expanded that to farm products. After we read the book, he completed a cut-and-glue worksheet that matched farm animals with the products we get from them. He needed a little help with the lamb chops (we don't eat lamb), but this was a good visual reminder of why we raise cattle on our farm.
The poem this week is "The Purple Cow," so I had Zeke color a purple cow. Then I copied that page in the Teacher's Manual, cut out the poem, and he glued it to the purple cow.
We also baked cupcakes for Team Kid at church tonight, just like Little Hen baked a cake. Zeke did all the sprinkles!
He then put together a few 48 piece puzzles.
THURSDAY:
We started today with his blend ladder worksheet. He started sounding out words and blending so much better. Then he read his word list with much less help than usual. This is exciting! He told me, "I'll be reading soon, Mama!"
Next, he traced and copied the words from this worksheet and colored his cow. He drew birds in the sky - how cute.
We read several books about farm life and cows today from the library.
He completed a page in is Abeka math book and almost the last page in his Rod and Staff workbook.
