MFW 1st grade: Week 23

This week Boo learned about the Battle of Jericho and Samuel. She now has the whole first line of her timeline filled, so we started line two! Boo did her usual oral narration, reading and then notebook drawings. For her Jericho page we wanted to do something a little different so she "built" the wall by gluing bricks cut out of construction paper. ( I didn't realize until later that she left out the word "of" in her sentence..opps!)

This week was Boos dream come true in math....We started learning how to tell time! Ever since she was in K she has been asking me when we will start time. Our week started out by going on a clock hunt. Boo went around the house finding all the clock she could. She found wall clocks, digital clocks, and a watch. Then we learned the parts of a clock and where the numbers go. Finally I introduced Boo to her very own new clock for school and we learned how to tell time to the hour. I'm using "Telling Time with the Judy Clock," in addition to the activities in the MFW books.
