Ocean Wonders

Today was the first day of Jade's Ocean Wonders course at a local community centre. She came home with several crafts: a painting, a map of a lake, and a Jelly Fish. The teacher said she took extra time with her Jelly Fish making sure it had a lot of purple dots. After her Oceans class she had 30 minutes of gym class.

While Jade was busy learning about the oceans, Colt and I went to an early years centre to play. At snack time he sat at the table with all the kids and he was not the first one back up to play. That is a huge improvement.

This afternoon Jade and I drawed a parking lot on a piece of paper. I wrote the numbers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 in the parking spaces. Next time I will have her write the numbers in. Not sure why I didn't think of that this time! lol Then I would tell her where her car wants to park and she would put it in the correct spot. To make it more fun I let her tell me where to park the car as well. Good for practicing number recognition and you can change the numbers depending on what numbers your child is working on recognizing.

My Apple Book - September 7, 2010


Today we started working on a book to fit our theme for September - Apples! I'm hoping we can do a book each month that fits our monthly theme. We started by reading the words in the book. Jade could already read most of them. She coloured four apples for the book and we discussed the names of the different parts of the apples as well as what colour she thought they should be. She practiced her reading words today and worked on a really cute addition and subtraction Math Puzzle. She read the equation of each little puzzle after it was completed. I was impressed that she had the attention span to do all 20 puzzles. lol
