Our school week didn't start until Tuesday, as we were coming back from Mexico on Monday. We also had a quick visit from Grandma and Grandpa Webb, and Cory's Aunt Jackie and Uncle Paul as they were on their way from the Mexico trip. After we gave them a tour, we had a bit of a late start, so we had to shorten the lesson a little. After some movement and bean bag games, and our new music lesson, I read Grant Hansel and Gretel and then we drew a picture for the letter D. I also introduced the form drawing for the week.
On Wednesday, we wrote the summary to Hansel and Gretel in Grant's book and talked more about the letter D, and practiced the form drawing. Later that day, Grant received his Highlight's magazine in the mail, and wouldn't you know, it had an activity page with a ryhyme about a dinosaur and you had to find as many D's on the page as you could. Talk about good timing!
On Thursday, Grant learned about the letter R. I told him the story of The Rabbit's Wife. We talked abour the letter R and he drew it, and the form, in his lesson book. We also talked about what kind of animals live around us.
On Friday, we had co-op. In the pre-school group the teacher read stories and they did crafts centering on Thanksgiving. Grant had a conservation agent speak in his community helper's class. What do you want to bet they talked about some of the local wildlife??
