Tuesday was bible study day, and Wednesday was storytime and grocery run. Check out my other post about storytime and how Caley and Amelia are starting to become better friends.Thursday we had a visit from our friends Karina, Olivia, and Abby and took a science walk to observe nature. I made a science journal with a list of things Caley needed to look for and when she found something she crossed it off her list. It became a fun game and a good chance for her to practice her observation skills, which is right now for "science" for a preschooler. Caley also did a few pages in her SchoolZone Preschool Basics workbook (from Grama!) and did great practicing things like comparing size, length, association, and coloring.
Friday we made an impromptu trip to the hospital to visit my OB/GYN and the girls did very well waiting in the office. This was testament to the fact that although we have a schedule for homeschooling, LIFE still happens and we have to roll with it. It was very good for all three of us. We also did a scavenger hunt in the hospital courtyard, which the kids love because there's a water fountain. At home we did some more workbook pages, Caley's phonics book (lesson 27) and a "self portrait." I chose this project primarily to begin teaching Caley to draw people with a body instead of arms and legs coming out of a person's head. I also decided to test Amelia's color matching skills by having her sort pegs in baskets. To my surprise she did quite well! We started with two colors handed to her by me, then I put a basket full of colors and she sorted them independently.
Have a good week!
