Let's get caught up on how first is going.
Day 6 had us making "Jewish Calendars." I went ahead and cut out the calendar and glued the arrows together the night before. Then, I let the boys color them and glue them on their background. (I highly recommend the tiny brads you can get for scrapbooking - much smaller, so your holes can be smaller.) Here's ours:
I read a book about patterns for math time. They liked that. Of course Pooh started recognizing a lot of those patterns when we were out and about after reading the book.
Day 7 finishes out week 2. We just did the things recommended in the teacher's manual, and I had the boys do one sheet out of the Complete Book of Math on patterns. Tigger followed the directions and glued the patterns on the page. Pooh decided he would cut out the shapes, but not glue them, so he could play with the page again.
Day 8 started with Proverbs 10:5. We followed the T.M. again for the Bible lesson. This is a good verse for Pooh to learn, and we will have ample opportunities to discuss this one. We also read The Ant and the Grasshopper after reading this verse, to discuss the consequences of "not gathering our crops in summer."
Poor Tigger either has a mild cold or allergies - sniffy nose and sore throat, so we didn't do 1st grade today, unless you count watching PBS.
Just wanted to say hello and thank you for taking the time to post about your days. This is my 1st year homeschooling and we are also using 1st grade MFW. We have not started yet but I love reading how the days kind of go. Thanks again! Blessings ~Jenn
