Jax is 4 1/2 years old.

Bible

Our Bible verse this week was, "Praise the Lord for it is good to sing praises to the Lord."  Psalm 147:1.  We used RRSK  to cut out the Bible verse and taped put it together.  Also, we colored the picture, and then learned the song.

Math

We did lots of math this week!  Our theme was "pirates" and so we used 1+1+1=1 Kindergarten printables.  He loves the number lines and at first we used the provided token to cover up the number.  But then we start playing a game and to try and find the silliest thing to cover up the number.  I believe the sock was the silliest thing we came up with.

We used the number clip cards from 2 Teaching Mommies.

I had Jax work on the Listening and Color worksheet from RRSK.  He doesn't like that the worksheet tells him what to color, but he's learning.

And we used the Pirate Kindergarten Printables to count what money he had in his piggy bank.

Sight Words

We used 1+1+1=1's YCR #5.  His sight words this week were:  up, down, go, here.  He's been having a hard time drawing straight lines on this YCR shape worsheet so I dug out the ruler and he was loving it.  He is a pro at the word search too!  And lastly, I used the words from last week and had him write them out.  Lots of good practice for handwriting.

Art

We painted our canvases to make this Bible verse to hang in their room.  I had planned to let them dry and then we would do our footprint and handprints.  But Jax got a hold of them and him and Julie colored all over the painted canvas.  This project is on hold now.  We need to repaint.

Story

This week we read, Good Night Moon by Margaret.  He has loved this book since he was two, but still wanted to do for his weekly book.

Since we were also reading Goodnight Moon for the week, we used Homeschool Creation's Good Night Moon printables and sorted out pairs and singles of socks and mittens.  Great discussion for him to understand what a pair is.

I also printed out the Hey Diddle Diddle nursery rhyme from that same printable set and we highlighted the words that he knew.  And then I had him "read" it.  Now, he knows this rhyme by heart, but I made him slow down and we said each word together.  This just gave him so much confidence that he can start reading stuff!  He couldn't wait to "read" it to daddy that night.
