This week we started learning long vowel sounds with silent "e." This was a real challenge for us! I've decided that Boo needs a lot more practice with her reading before moving forward too quickly. We started having a review more as the curriculum suggests. Up till now I've been skipping this step, but now she really needs it. These phonics lessons are moving really fast for her. I plan to take a week off soon to just review before we add any new concepts. She started making these little "Animal Tales" books where she has to copy a sentence and then draw a picture for it. We also did some matching activity cards. Boo reads the sentence and matches it to the correct picture.
For our daily read-aloud story time I introduced Boo to our Fancy Nancy collection. Boo has fallen in love with Fancy Nancy and her "fancy words." Sis use to love these books when she was younger too.
We're still learning about plants in Science. This week we read all about trees. Our activity was to do a tree bark rubbing, but Boo already did that last year with Sis so we decided to skip it. We also checked on our corn kernels that we "planted" in a wet paper towel. They're growing pretty well. It's neat to see how the roots have buried themselves inside of the paper towel.
