Homeschool: Term 2 Week 2 Sk

We are working in the workbook "educational workbook numbers K" I likely got this book from one of the dollarstores. We are reading a different book each day this time so it will be list under the daily activities.

We are also working on printing for this I took a highlighter and wrote out on each page the letters. I will add a photo of what I am talking about so it is easier to understand.

I could not for the life of me get Homer to work  so we are going to try to get it to work this week.


Each day this week we will be doing a game. Such as Jenga or Trouble.

Why add games?  Did you know along with learning how to take turns children also learn a multitude of other skills from playing board games?

Children learn through doing, so do most people, they also learn through play.

Things learnt from board games:

Critical thinking
Fine motor skills
Gross motor skills (depending on the game)
Sharing
Taking turns
Math (Counting)


And sooo much more depending on the games you are playing. Plus they are so much fun they don't even realize they are learning.

Homeschool:Kindergarten term 2 week 1

No I have no idea what week we are on now lol but its a new year so we will just go with it.

Sarnia is unique for homeschoolers. They beg for get togethers, field trips, etc. We put all the work into planning it, getting everything ready then NO ONE shows up. Its rather annoying to say the least

Anyway rant done.

This "term" we are focusing on something a little different. Something a little more "fun" then what our day to day homeschool life is.
