Handwriting Practice...
We continue to move slowly through our handwriting practice. It isn't Smiley's favorite thing to do, so I am trying to keep it light and fun, mainly focusing on games. This week, we worked on the letter E again. We started by tracing our sandpaper letter E.
We then did some letter E exercises from our Handwriting Without Tears (HWT) workbook...
We assembled the letter E with our wooden pieces (part of HWT)...
And we finally traced a few E's...
Reading...
Smiley continues to like his easy readers from our Hooked on Phonics Kindergarten pack. He learned a few new sight words this week and we practiced them through various games...
I put one of his sight words on his train track, and he had to read the word in order for the road block to be able to be lifted off...
Pumpkin Theme...
Smiley has been really interested in pumpkins lately. So, we have been reading quite a few books about pumpkins, fall, and halloween. We also worked on several pumpkin printables from 2 Teaching Mommies.
Making pumpkin patterns...
Labeling the parts of a pumpkin....
Measuring vines...
The highlight, of course, was a trip to the pumpkin patch (including hay ride) :)
I love the pumpkin parts chart. I need to do something like that this week.
