Letter I Fun

Week #2 (although it lasted much longer than a week!) of JK:

Letter: Ii

Colour: Yellow

Verse: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

Animal: Bees (Insects :D)

 

Here are a few "highlights":

I is for ink - we had lots of stamping fun. Seth and Maddy loved this! They were covered in ink :) 

 A very inky page!

I bought the Kumon pasting book for Seth.

Pattern block fun. I got the pattern block template from Confessions of a Homeschooler.

I taped a large I on our kitchen floor. Seth and Maddy lined up cars along it ... we obviously have a lot of cars!

I is for insects! We learned that insects have three body parts, six legs, antennae, wings and a proboscis. Our insects:

Making an Ii out of insect counters.

Sentence printing from This Reading Mama.

We usually start the day off with some chalkboard work. I think this might be their favourite part - nothing like printing with chalk!

Dot marker fun.

We learned a little about how bees make honey. We pretended to be bees - first they used their "proboscis" to drink nectar from a flower. Then they emptied the nectar from their "stomach" into the hive (making sure to leave the bottom wax rooms for the bee babies!)

Seth's proboscis.

Playing the honeybee game.
