Connor’s Schooling- September 2011

Here are some of the random things I've been doing with Connor so far this school year as we go along with our Abeka curriculum.

In Phonics he…

circled the letters-

made a capital I with pretzel rods,

traced letters with playdoh,

found words with the correct sound, 

matched the vowels to the word its in,

He ate an O shaped cookie-

He’s also started writing in cursive!!!

For science-

He’s learned about ‘our body’ and weather-

He learned about his senses. When we did ‘taste’ i put 4 foods in little bowls for him to taste: Bitter (unsweetened cocoa powder), salty (pretzel rod), sweet (chocolate animal cracker) and sour (lemon juice).

We also talked about condensation. We measured 1 cup of water into a measuring cup and marker the 1 cup line with a washable marker. I then poured the water into a pie plate and after a couple of days we poured the water back into the measuring cup and marked where the water now was. Where did it go?

 

For math…

he put the correct number of objects on the card,

He’s been learning cents-

In

Social Studies…

he’s been learning about government-

This is just a fraction of the worksheets he’s been doing but i am not going to take a picture of every single one of course :)
