What really happened in week 3

We got through all the worksheets I had planned out and every outing we did was amazing. I have had ABC Mouse  since he was about 2.5 he never really had an interest in it until about 6 months ago. This week I decided to add it to our home school work, this means instead of taking 15-30 mins to do school work it take about an hour because we do an ABC Mouse activity between each of the planned worksheet or activity. Doing this keeps his attention longer!!!

He had a ton of fun gluing to paper so we will be adding more of those as well go along. His tracing has come a long way its crazy! Still not picking a dominate hand makes things a little harder when helping him write. Sight word "THE" seems to be causing us a little bit of trouble which sucks but we will keep working at even with moving onto the next sight word.

This week was packed full of fun learning things to do as well. Tumble time at bluewater cheer was amazing, the instructor has the patience of a saint with the little ones whose attention span is that of a wet noodle. He had a blast it also helped that the other kids in the class are home schooled as well! He talked all week about how he followed the course and went over and under the things. I am just happy he didn't hide under my chair the whole time.

It rained Tuesday so the hike at rock glen was canceled.

Thursday we had Zekvelds with farmer John for pick and learn. It was amazing! Farmer John was so patience and kind with the children and very engaging! The kids learned a lot and I know I learned something new so I am sure the other home school parents did to! Blaine picked about 6 apples for our bag and we each got to eat one for free. He ate the whole apple skin and all (surprise). After we were all done at the apples we moved onto the pumpkin patch where farmer John taught us about pumpkins and even carved a face in one for the kids it was great, they loved it. Then the kids all got to pick out a small pumpkin to take home. He had a blast!!!

Like most Fridays we had the home school parent chat and play, thankfully it wasn't raining this week and we were able to meet at the park. It is great for the kids to get outdoors and play with each other and also for the parents to chat!


Sipkens put on their Fall Harvest Festival on Saturday all free activities for the kids. It was a lot of fun and things to see and do. I had never been in Sipkens before and WOW it is stunning in there, the staff are amazing and were great with the kids. Blaine loved the fish pond and seeing all the flowers and such inside. They had a mini petting zoo, make and take centre piece, colouring pages, information session, find the scarecrows and lots more.

All in all it was a busy week but we got almost everything I wanted done. We didn't go to skating or yoga this week but with so much going on its hard to fit everything in!

Week 3: The plan!

I am excited for this week because he starts home school tumble time!!!

Day 1:
Sight word "the", work book, dot to dot
Outing: Tumble group

Sight word "the" activity was a worksheet that I found on google. I will post it below.

We are still working our way through the Beaver books Search and Smile sticker book and the Usborne get ready for school first numbers sticker book. We should be finished the search and smile book this week but the Usborne one is going to take us a little longer, only because it is a far larger book.


Tumble class is for ages 3+ and it is held at the bluewater cheer centre.

Dot to Dot I will post below but I found it on google as well.

Day 2:
Sight word "the" workbook, car numbers

Outing: Story book Yoga, rock glen home school hike and picnic

Sight word "the" I did the card stock cards again. This time I used the words we have been learning from the weeks before "I" "Like" and this weeks word "The".

Car numbers is fun and I can't remember where I found it but I will include it on this page.

Story book yoga is put on the early years. and the home school hike is put on by us at embrace.

Day 3:
Sight word "the", workbook, dot to dot.
Outing:Planting Bulbs

Free worksheets you can print from the net are amazing and that is mainly what I use for now. "the" worksheet I found again on google.

Dot to dot I found on google.

Day 4:
Sight word "the", workbook, Train numbers
Outing: Apple orchard pick and learn

More card stock cards, this time they had short sentences with all the new words "I like the apple"
Train number I can't remember where I found that sheet but I will include in below.

We will be going to Zekveld's to learn about apples and other fall fruit and picking as well!This is being hosted by myself for the Embrace homeschool group.

Day 5:
Sight word "the", workbook, one fish two fish
Outing: Home school mom chat and play

Its a colouring page, he hates colouring so with the colouring pages I encourage him to put at least a little bit of colour on the page even if it is a dot!

One fish, two fish I found on pinterest and its a fun idea to match the numbers.
