Week in Review (August 20th)

This week was a good one at our house.  The kids have a new memory verse, Deuternomy 6:5, which talks about loving the Lord your God completely.  I found the suggestion of this verse along with the actions that go along with it here.

K asked me if he could work with his coin actvity (I discuss this activity here), so I brought that back out.  He enjoyed sorting the coins and has improved in his knowledge of the names of the coins and how much they are worth.  K has also continued his work with his letters and continues to improve there.

G has really gotten into puzzles and enjoys many of the puzzles we have available.  We also continued our sight word work; it's been some time since we worked on this.  She's doing well and knows about 20 words.  She uses the cards below, and we also check out the Sight Words DVDs from the library, which we watch occassionally (the sight words DVD series is by a company called Preschool Prep)  While we are reading, I allow her to tell me the name of a various sight words when we come across them, and she is even beginning to find them on her own in books and when we are out and about. 

I have a ring of cards (from my parents) and a set of unringed cards (I believe I purchased these at walmart some time ago)

M is doing more talking, and he loves music.  We have two leap frog drums and some simple an instrument tub from Toys R Us that he truly enjoys.  Here he is playing our little keyboard. 

With one of his favorite trucks in hand =)

A great week for us her at the academy!  Hopefully next week I will have more pictures to share!
