Well...we were much later in starting preschool this year...didn't start until November, but better late than never right? We are using the
Five in a Row curriculum...we read a book a week and have a different subject area focus for each day. Both of the kids are loving it and it fits their skill levels well.
Here's Hannah's first day of kindergarten picture...she wants to be an author!
Isaac always wants in on the fun too!
We started our first week with the book "The story about Ping". This book is out of print, so none of the libraries in our system have it anymore...but I was able to find the scholastic video. The kids loved listening to the book being read to them every day. We learned all about China and the Yangtze River.
Here are a few highlights from the week:
We had egg drop soup for lunch (thank you Aldi)
We did sink and float for science..they both loved this!
Hannah made predictions, and got most of them right
For art, she learned how to draw reflections on the water, puddles around an object int he water, and movement lines in the water. I think she's quite the little artist.
We got our map in the mail and found China, where Ping lived.
We added our first character to the map
made a passport of all of our adventures and added China
She sequence the whole story of Ping...I couldn't believe how much she remembered! She loved doing this!
To finish our week off, we went to Chinese dinner as a family.
We are all super excited about FIAR and look forward to many more fun book adventures ahead!
