Hey there homeschool mamas! Welcome to week 3 of our Kindergarten Homeschool! I am so excited to show you what we've done and how it's going every week! If you're curious about our curriculum, my son, or our homeschool room, check out this post!
This week was our sun unit. Of course, the week was pretty rainy! Go figure, right?
The week was the first "real" week. It started us on the schedule we're going to keep through the year. Introduced our worksheets, math, reading and activities, poetry, and our classical music.
As I mentioned, I chose this because it uses a variety of teaching methods and is very hands on. The first day I read the poem, Liam was so bored. It wasn't extremely long, but it's hard for him to sit still if he isn't a part of the action. I ended up finding a youtube video (Disney for the win) and he preferred that much better!
The books we read this week were: Moonbear's Shadow, Curious George Discovers the Sun, The Sun (which had facts and realist images), and Sunshine, Moonshine.
After Liam read the Curious George book about the sun, I let him watch the episode on Hulu. When Kyle got home, Liam told him all about what the sun is, how it's important, and how it can charge things.
I was also worried he wouldn't do very well at memorizing the flashcards. Each week, he learns a Biblical Concept Flashcard. This weeks was, "Jesus is the light of the world." and has a sun next to it. Wouldn't you know it, he had it memorized by the second day!
My mother in law's birthday party was this weekend. He decided to color her a picture and he wanted to include his Biblical Concept! So, not only did he remember it, but he learned to write it! He also helped me make her a vegan cake.
I love this time we are getting together! It is so fun to see things click for him! I just wish we could have enjoyed more sun for our sun unit! None the less, he had a blast!
