Part of the first week of homeschooling

We are easing into homeschooling, so this week we took the book Goodnight Moon and suggestions from BFIAR to school this week.  Next week we will add more Kindergarten stuff for Sienna.  So we made a lap book and talked about the author.

 We started the week with "mush" (cream of wheat) for breakfast while reading the book.

 While Sienna practiced writing Ts, Ry made them with those Do-A-Dot markers.  The blog Confessions of a Homeschooler has printables for all the letters for the Do-A-Dot markers.

 Sienna used those to find the words in the rhyme Hey Diddle Diddle and would dot them.

 While Ry colored and pasted pictures from the rhyme to make a book.

 They learned the difference between "single" and "a pair".

 Sienna made her own clock so we could begin practicing telling time.

 Rhyming word match from Goodnight Moon.

 I would put paper stars on the sheet & they would take turns counting them and them picking the appropriate number to put in the square at the bottom of the sheet.

 Read Goldilocks and then had Ry match each bear to the appropriate items from the story, then talked about "big", "medium", & "small"

 Talked about & watched a video about the phases of the moon.  Then we made the phases from Oreos (we didn't go into waxing & waning).  Their favorite part was eating the Oreos.  When I said ok now you can eat the Oreos, they said, "what's an Oreo?"  They haven't had Oreos before and I guess they just thought of this as "moon cookies."

 They sequenced the Goodnight Moon story.  With Ry I read the story as she put the cards in order.

 We painted Ry's hand print onto one set of mittens to match the colored mittens.  Then she matched the colors & clothes pined them together.  After she had that done we played "red mitten, red mitten, what do you see?  I see a _____mitten looking at me."  She very much enjoyed that.

 Many of the printables we got from homeschool creations or homeschool share.  And a few ideas from delightful learning.
I will post the rest tomorrow.  I will not be posting every week of our homeschooling.  After this it will be just a few photos about that every once in awhile.
