Kindergarten: Week 15

On Monday, it was an extremely LONG day and we didn't do much, we spent so much time on Life Skills. We cleaned alot. That's what she wanted to do for a while until she got tired and but we got the basics done and that's pretty much all that matters.

dot to dot counting by 10's. she excelled at this and went to her daddy and proudly counted by 1-'s without messing up.


working on her colors book


On Tuesday, we started reading a chapter book. It's Fira and the Full Moon. It's a Disney Fairies book. We read 3 chapters, and the girls were really into it. I didn't take many pictures. We also started out Thanksgiving unit today with a trip to the library to read some Thanksgiving books and came home to some coloring pages.
folding a blanket to put away.




On Wednesday, we had an early day because I woke up to my power coming back on and appliances beeping. Apparently, sometime in the middle of the night, the cold weather knocked out power once again. I had to get up to make sure our pipes weren't frozen and ended up being in a mood all day. But, we had a good day of school. We built a robot and we had quiet time today. While Sammy was looking at her LEGO magazines and she wanted me to look at them with her, and I ended up napping for 10 minutes.

we made a thanksgiving banner. 

this one is on Adalyn's door. The other is on Sammy and Airy's.

On Thursday, I didn't take many pictures. We had a quiet morning and did our regular work. She did some Thanksgiving worksheets, and we also started on our 2nd banner that was hung up in their room.



On Friday, we started the day off finishing the 2nd banner. All Sammy did was cut the shapes out and she chose the color of the yarn. I put it together and hung it up. We also read 3 Thanksgiving books.





After we did that, we went through our regular routine. We did music and we finished our chapter book.
this was the cutest little video on the letter m. The beat had me dancing in my chair.

we made a school house.

her thanksgiving worksheet for the day. it was basically all math. she had to do counting, adding and do a little leaf graph.

On Tuesday, she didn't do school. I was going to do school with her but decided against it.

On Wednesday, we did double lessons. Started the day off with doing music and read aloud with Sammy.



On Thursday, we watched dance videos to go along with the letter D and she got her groove on. She loves to dance. Sammy joined in on the watching for her own viewing pleasure.

she dressed herself that morning. 


I gave her the day off on Friday because she was going to go to my parent's house for the weekend. So she will be getting her work done on Sunday, when she gets back.
