Zeke is using My Father's World Kindergarten. He turned five in November. This week Zeke's theme was G is for Goat, and it begins a three-week series on farm animals. (Next week is C for Cow, followed by H for Horse.)
MONDAY:
Zeke colored and cut apart his letter cards first thing. He practiced saying the words (/g/ is a sound he has been working on in speech therapy) and then put them in his envelope.
We read about goats in the God's Amazing World textbook, and then Zeke did a farm animal/zoo animal sorting worksheet I found for free on Teachers Pay Teachers.
Next, he colored his farm animal puppets. He cut them out and taped a craft stick to the back of each one. We sang "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" with the puppets and had a blast!
He then worked in Abeka Math and his Rod and Staff workbook.
TUESDAY:
We started off with his handwriting and sound discrimination worksheets. He does a great job on these each week!
Then I printed him a goat coloring page with the word "goat" to copy. We made his badge using black and brown dot markers.
He then colored the baby and mother animal worksheet and cut them apart. We played a matching game with them (and we tied!) and tomorrow we'll use them for something different.
We read part of this book about Farm Animals.
He then did a math page in Abeka where he had to write the numbers 80-100, and he did another page in his Rod and Staff workbook. We tried to find a Wild Kratts episode about goats, but no luck. He watched one about mountain animals that did have a goat in it.
WEDNESDAY:
We started off with his math page, which was on telling time to the hour. He's already been doing this in Abeka math, so it was just review for him. He flipped the page over and had six words to read - gum, dig, mom, mug, sit, and gas. He did pretty well with reading these words and matching them to the pictures.
Then we took the farm animals and babies cards from yesterday and played a matching game with some of them. I would say, "I'm thinking of animal that rhymes with coat." He would pick up the goat card. Considering we haven't done any rhyming work yet, he did a fantastic job and caught on to the concept really well. Then I let him glue the mama and baby animals on a sheet of cardstock.
I printed him out two goat dot marker worksheets just for fun. He loves dot markers, but I haven't printed him any pages in a while for them. He enjoyed doing this.
In Abeka math, he is supposed to be learning the number words for one-four. I cut four index cards in half and wrote the number ones on one set and the digits on the other. He practiced matching these and then did the matching activity on his worksheet. We will keep adding to the set.
He then did two more pages in his Rod and Staff workbook.
Aw, those learning activities look fun! I made a binder for both of my daughters and saved all of their worksheets in it. It's really nice to be able to look back on them. Thank you for sharing your post with us at The Crazy Little Lovebirds link party #23.
ReplyDeleteI love to look back at their binders!! So fun to remember things and see how their work was!
