I just discovered my usual source for cute blog backgrounds is no longer offering them for free so I've spent all morning figuring out how to change my blog using a new source. So, anything I had to say about this week is forgotten... Then, I start adding pictures and see how many I got of Nathan AGAIN and not as many as the big kids. It's hard to remember! Plus, a lot of Nathan's work is crafty.
Nathan finished up I for insect. Here he is with his caterpillar turned butterfly:
We then moved on to Q for quail:
Painting with Q-tips:
Moving "quail eggs" with tweezers: *It looks like we did this in one day but he was just wearing the same pajama shirt a couple days...*
Samuel and I used a lot of different math manipulatives to work on addition this week. The animal blocks are always a hit.
He's working on writing his name but he keeps wanting to add lines to make his 'S' a dollar sign. *insert eye roll* I have no idea why.
We had a restaurant day for math. We used pennies instead of dollars, in case you catch that. He enjoyed this a lot.
We made ooey monster cookies this week and the little boys helped me add the candy eyeballs. :)
The twins had a full week learning about Egyptian painting and drawing.
Samuel has been spending some time focusing on the sounds he has a hard time remembering for phonics. We do a story and actions and then I give him a coloring sheet. Well, nothing with Samuel is ever cut and dried. Every single thing he does involves an elaborate story with drawings to go with it. He has a great imagination but it does drag things out a bit. However, I try to be patient with it and give him free reign of his creativity. I videotaped him one day...I gave him his sheet to color and this unfolded:
