We celebrated the end of our Pippi Longstocking chapter book by having a Crazy Hair Day! There were so many silly hair styles; green, worms, backwards ponytail, lots of ponytails and lots of braids! So fun! We had some awesome comments and compliments from neighbours while we were out and about. We also did some Blow painting crazy hair onto face drawings.
This week we started learning about the parts of a plant and what each parts job is. I am sure you have heard out plant song a few times by now! We have been talking about planting a garden, as I was gifted a couple of planters and soil. Everyone has all sorts of ideas about what we should plant and we are all working together in learning about gardening. We were quite interested to learn that are buddies, in that they are helpful to one another in growing, taste and keeping pests away. Hmm…knowing some of these things has made planning our garden quite an adventure in thinking and problem solving. We are excited to start our garden next week hopefully!
The kids sounded out and wrote the parts of a flower and spelled FLOWER in teams of two. They are all doing so well with their letter sounds and identification, even the younger ones. As a group, they also sequenced the alphabet in picture form. And Word Work this week included everyone; dentifying and sounding out small words and running them across the house.
We sure enjoyed the array of weather we had this week; sunshine, snow, rain, hail. But although we had precipitation, we were disappointed that we could not find any big enough puddles to jump in. We still had fun exploring and playing outside though! The kids made up this bucket race game where the goal was to carry the bucket on the skipping rope without letting it touch the ground. Fun and tricky!
And of course, we cannot forget about the very Happy Birthday we got to celebrate this week. If you ever wanted to know what excited meant, just ask this little four-year-old!
