Second Day of Mommy School

Bible- We continued Jonah and the Big Fish.  I had the kids paint a whale with watercolors.

Physical Education- We did some physical activity.  I got these from Discovery Toys they are called Flip Flop Faces Emotions in Motion.  We practiced color matching and balance.

  Math- Then we talked about top, middle, and bottom.  We talked about traffic lights and what color goes on top, middle and bottom of the traffic light.  We also discussed what each color means.  Then we made a traffic light snack.  I got a graham cracker, spread white icing on it and used red, yellow, and green     m &m's.

First Day of Mommy School July 2010

We started our first day of K4!  Caden has been asking me all summer to do Mommy School.  I did not have anything planned because I have been planning and organizing 2010-2011 Mommy School.

Caden's Curriculum 2010-2011 (3-4 years old):
Bob Jones Press Footsteps for Fours.  So far I love it!  Hannah is just joining us when she wants to participate.  She will be starting Mother's Day Out at the end of August so I can really work with Caden.  When she is not at Mother's Day Out I will do Mommy School with her.

Hannah's Curriculum 2010-2011 (2 years old):
Hands on Homeschooling
Confessions of a Homeschooler
The Itty-Bitty Bookworm

 Hannah did not want to get out of her pajamas.

For Caden's Mommy School we started off with our names so we made name tags.  He wanted name tags for everyone including our dog.

And me!

 

Bible Lesson are coming from all different kinds of resources.  Our first lesson is Jonah and the Big Fish.  I read the story from this Beginners Bible Reader, which I love.

 

Then I ordered Jonah and the Big Fish Tales of Glory Play Set. 

Colored Jonah and the Big Fish from Dltk.

Sang a song.

We are also doing this craft but have not completed it yet.

Then the kids drew a picture of themselves on a 4x6 index card.  Colored a school house, cut the doors out and then we glued the index card to the back of the school house so we could see them in the doors.

Here are our centers.  I put them in labeled boxes on a shelf that my husband made because we do no have enough room to place centers around the room and house.

I also started Caden a Chore Chart.  I started with morning chores first.  For example:  brush teeth, brush hair, eat breakfast, make bed etc....if he completes all morning chores he gets one quarter.  He said he wants a Buzz Lightyear so we decided that he needs to get 20 quarters to reach his goal.  He can also earn quarters throughout the day.  If he is caught sharing, being nice to his sister, things of that sort.  I got the chore chart from here. 

Raising Rock Stars- The Crucifixion and Resurrection

Daddy started off reading from our Read n' See DVD Bible about The Crucifixion. Then he read from our Adventure Bible for Early Readers.

Then he showed them the cross Jesus was put on and how to color the cross with dot paint.

Caden's cross

Hannah's cross

Daddy wrote Caden's name and he traced it.

Hannah's finished cross.

You really can not tell what this is...it is Jesus's tomb.  The guards are on the outside of the paper plate and inside is Jesus's empty tomb.  I got the idea from www.littleblots.com it is the Empty Tomb Craft.

You open the plate and see Jesus is not in the tomb.

Raising Rock Stars- Matthew 13: 3-8 Good and Bad Soil

I got so inspired by 1+1+1 Raising Rock Stars post that I begin posting more about our Bible Lessons. We are trying to include our Bible Lessons on a more consistent schedule and this will totally help by doing this post.

So we started with the Parable of the Sower. I got the flower from Making Learning Fun. Our Bible lesson comes from ABC Jesus Loves Me.

I also purchased the Read n' See DVD Bible that Clarisa suggested. We love it because we read our scripture, do an activity and then watch the clip from Read n' See DVD.

Matthew 13: 3-8

Pouring in the soil.

Planting the seed.

Watering the seed.

...and waiting.

This week we are reading Matthew 13:3-8 Seeds: Good and Bad Soil. The lesson is from ABC Jesus Loves Me. So we decided to plant a sunflower seed.
