1. We read the story of Noah and the flood in our children's Bible. I printed out a Noah's Ark mini-book here (scroll down to find it) to go with it. We discussed how God calls each of us to faith and obedience, and He rewards us for it. God called Noah to build the ark, he did, and God provided safety for him and his family. Noah could have thought it was crazy to build an ark and didn't want to waste his time without a reason. But he chose faith & obedience to God and did what God told him, whether it made sense to him or not. And thank goodness, right?
2. We played the first song on our new "25 Sunday School Songs" CD, which is about Noah & the ark.
3. Using paper plates, we made this craft, that I found at Mama Jenn's, to go along with the Noah story. Click for instructions.
Language -
1. We completed lesson 13 in How to Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons.
2. Handwriting Without Tears practice, and practice writing full name and sight words.
3. I taught Little Bill that "ck" makes only one sound, and that it usually follows a short vowel. Again, using index cards and a black marker, I made word cards to go over and reinforce this lesson. I write the vowels in red, however, which iterates the point of this rule, as well as helps Little Bill recognize his vowels. Then we recorded the rule into Bill's language notebook, and he wrote sample words to illustrate the rule.
4. We reviewed color words using the game I printed out.
Math - with calendar time
1. We reviewed adding with our AddIt! game. I printed out the SubtractIt! version and we practiced subtracting using the game.
2. We went over ordinal (first, second, third, etc.) numbers using our set of creation days cards that we printed out last month.
3. I made a geoboard for Little Bill. You can make one as well; find the printable guide here. You'll need a 5x5 piece of wood and some small nails. Use the printable guide to see where to put the nails. You can paint the wood as well. Make sure to sand it first to eliminate rough edges and splinters. Or you can buy one from your local education store. Today we used rubber bands to make the basic shapes on our geoboard.
