The Body Day 2

Last Thurs we started with the usual number and letter reviews.

We practiced writing the letter G a few times, then played our usual memory.  We then used little plastic eggs that I had written on.  There was the upper case letter on one side and lower on the other.  She had to match them together.  It was easy this time since she mostly matched the colors, but we made sure to check the letters as well. (Idea found here.)

Then we did some addition with beads and pipe cleaners.  She picked a number and put that many beads on the pipe cleaner in a color of her choice.  Then I picked a number (to make sure the total was 7 and under, since that's all we know so far) and she chose a different color to put my number on.  We then counted how many total beads.  We didn't do any writing, this time, just counting and oral addition.  (And then of course she had to make a bead bracelet when we were done.  :) )  (This idea I actually came up with myself.  Believe it or not...)

We read You Can See Your Bones With Binoculars and talked about how we have bones inside of us. I think for the most part she understood.  Then we used white paint on her hands to make a handprint that looked like a skeleton.  (Idea found here.)

 And then we used Q-tips to make a skeleton man! (Idea found here.)

And then we used Q-tips to make a skeleton man!

Brooklyn had a great time!
