We're going back to a little sight words work, now that we're got a few of the Barton lessons under our belt. OScar really likes the active games, and I'll be incorporating more into our work. Here's some sight word stomp in action:
We also had our second Audubon zoo field trip to the insectarium this time around. Fun with bugs and butterflies! I love these classes, and wish there we remote than 4!
Our final field trip with Audubon was at a Wilderness Park that isn't normal open to the public. It was a great walk in the woods (minus the mosquitos) and an awesome opportunity to get up close with Uno the owl and a beautiful king snake. The king snake is my new favorite, since it's non-venomous, and eats all the venomous snakes!
It was election day this week, so we tied that into our social studies with a little lesson on civic responsibility and the process of voting. For math, we spent some time reviewing - fractions, place value, time, money….we're about to switch things up with math and use a more formal curriculum which will REALLY help since I spend a LOT of time on prep work and I'm trying to reduce that so I have more time to do all the other things in life :) We also started working on multiplication, and I found this awesome art/math project online to make an "array city" and I personally loved the final product!
We also started volunteering in Livi's school to help out at lunchtime. I think Oscar enjoys it a little bit, but sometimes gets annoyed when all the kids ask who he is and why he isn't in school. It's fun to see Livi during the school day though and well worth it, although I do feel like Adam Sandler's lunch lady a bit…
I'm rushed in these posts, since I realized how far behind I am, and how much I've forgotten since I'm not posting these in real time! Here's to hoping that improves in December!
