Week 32 Y ~ Yellow {4/30 - 5/4/2012}

Our LAST letter!!!  I can't believe it!  Where did this year go?????????

This week we studied Y for Yellow and we studied all about the colors of the rainbow and the primary colors and the secondary colors. 

We got the paint out and mixed the colors so the kids could see and do it them selves, and then another evening we put water in glasses and did it with food coloring. 

Both girls have been really coming along with their reading, and I thought it would be good to practice the color words for sight words.  It had said to write the word and then put the color next to it.  I didn't like that, so I just wrote all the words in black on different cards and figured we would work on recognizing the word itself.  Well... that took all of about one minute.  The first time I went through them, they both knew what each one was and not by sounding them out, but just knowing them.  Alyssa guessed wrong one saying Black was Blue, but other than that, they both knew all the words.  Amazed!

Week 31 Q ~ Quail {4/23 - 4/27/2012}

This week we studied Q ~ Quail.  Not gonna lie...  Pretty Boring!  With the exception of watching some Youtube video's of some Quails and watching a Quail hatch from the egg... not too much is all that fascinating about the good ole' Quail! 

We did do a fun thing where I got two puppets and put a Q on one and a U on the other, and we learned how Q is always followed by U!

Week 30 V ~ Vegetable {4/16 - 4/20/2012}

This week we studied V for Vegetables!  We had fun learning all about Vegetables and also some learning on the food pyramid and the different kinds of foods and how much of each you should eat everyday. 

I went away the latter part of the week, so they were able to have Daddy as a substitute again, which they loved.  As soon as I said I was going away they asked if Daddy was going to do school with them.  Fun!  Wish I could have been a fly on the wall to see it!  One thing they did was I saved some grocery store ads, and they were able to cut out all the vegetables they found.  They did good.  Even if the vegetable wasn't the main food in the photo, they still cut it out if they saw it on there.  Although there are some they are not fond of, I am very happy that I have veggie and fruit loving kids!! They are very excited that we will soon be planting our garden.
