Week 2: reality

With another week down and realizing that I can plan everything I want to but not always will everything get done as planned.

We didn't get to the 3-6 playgroup on Monday because I ended having to go somewhere and there just wasn't enough time to get him there. Besides that time of day he is super tired, we will try again tho for the next time they offer it.

The International Harvester Expo was amazing! So many GREAT things to see and do. We ended up only staying until 12:30 because Blaine was hot, tired and done. He would have spent ALL day in the corn sensory box! It was like heaven for the child who likes to play with tractors. Even from the start it was a zoo!

Next time I will call first, we drove all the way to the discovery play group (about 30 mins) to find out that it was canceled, he was bummed but we will try for the next one.

Mom chat and play ended up having to be in the children's section of our library. The kids had a blast and we chatted. It helps whose who feel alone while homeschooling more connected to other adults who understand what is going on. It was the grouchy librarian who was working. She was mad the kids were running around playing hide and seek and well being kids. It was raining so inside was our only option at the time.

We got all our work sheets done and attempted to do the apple seeds but sadly it would seem that they are not going to sprout. Found out he loves the topping I make for the dutch apple pie when he helped me make mini apple pies.

No apple picking but that will be this week as a home school group.

Did you get to the expo?

Week 2: The plan!

The plan is simple, the plan is easy to follow, the plan hmmmm I wonder how many plans go perfect with zero deviations? I haven't met one.

Blaine is enjoying school and I am enjoying watching him learn and teaching him!

Week 2 day 1: Sight word like, workbook, apple photo sort.
Outing: 3-6 year old play group put on the early years. 

I used card stock folded into business card sizes and put the word "like" and small words with it "I like" and used them as flash cards.

We are using the Usborne first numbers sticker book this week. I got it at coles. We are also using Beaver books search and smile.

Apple Photo sort is neat and I found the idea here.

Day 2: Sight Word Like, workbook, my apple book
Outing: The International Plowing Match in Pain Court.

This time I did the flash cards all with the word "like" and below that a scentence "It smells like soup" The word like is in bright yellow.

I used this idea but made my own.

Day 3: Sight word like, workbook, planting an apple seed.
Outing: Alphabites put on by the early years centres.

 This time I used a colouring page for the sight word.

We will be planting an apple seed in paper towel and once it sprouts moving it to a pot to watch it grow.


Day4: Sight word like, workbook, Apple picking
Outing: apple picking

I used this worksheet for the sight word.

Apple picking is so much fun and allows them to see where and how they grow.

Day 5: Sight word like, workbook, Bake an apple pie
Outing: Moms home school chat and play

I used this worksheet google is awesome lol.

Baking teaches sooo much MATH and life skills!
