We've been enjoying the great weather and meeting friends these last few weeks. We've been doing school only when the weather has been rainy. Here are a few pictures from what we've been doing, I did not take pictures of a lot of stuff, so there aren't many photos.
I've always wanted to do some graphing and data analysis with D. This activity was sparked by one of the recent "Sid the Science Kid" episodes. We sorted a bunch of buttons by color, shape or no. of button holes and tried to analyze that. We estimated minimum and maximums before graphing and it was fun to see if our predictions were right!
We have been working on a bunch of grammar and been doing a lot of reading. We've also been exploring our continent boxes and doing some sensorial work.

| We attended a local spring festival, watched shearing sheep and visited the pets. Isn't this a cool photo?! |

| We've been revisiting a lot of our old Math Trays, trying to revise old concepts. D is working on the Teens in the above picture. |

| Sorted by Shape |
 |
| Placed it the sorted groups on a graph. Since this was an impromptu activity I improvised by drawing X-Y axis on a piece of Cardstock! |

| By Color |
 |
| Sorted by no. of Button Holes and ready to be graphed. We only had two and four holed buttons so this turned out not such a great idea! |
I really like how you used the drawing paper as a way to have collaborative work. I definetly will be trying this. Lots of work going on!! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks DM! It works well in our home as the little one wants to always do what her big sister is doing!
