Our latest adventures in homeschooling!

 We have worked on colors and recognition of colors for awhile now, I am starting now to introduce color words.  Gibson had to pick the paper clip that matched the color word and clip it to the right card.  This helped us work on some new color sight words, colors, and fine motor skills.  He really enjoyed this!

 He is focused hard on this one!!

 We made snowmen snacks!!  We used oreo cakesters, an apple, and a skewer! 

 We use number mats for a lot of things.  Some days we throw them around the room and jump to the number that I call out, we have races to pick them up by the called out number, and of course we group!  We are still working on number identification so these mats are very helpful!  I only laid out 1-6 today and Gibson was given simple directions on what to do one mat at a time.  (We need two yellow cars on the number two mat.)  He had to work on his colors, number recognition, counting, and follow directions!  He lined them up on the numbers like a track... I didn't ask for him to do that!! 

Letter "A" hunt!

Gibson... I mean Captain A and I went on a letter hunt through our house and cottage area.  He was looking for any types of A's.  This was so much fun and we also had fun dressing up!

 He looks very excited about it right... this is his super hero mean face!

 This one was my favorite because we have only talked about the short a sound so when it dawned on him that an Acorn started with a this was his look of surprise!!
