So my three little ones are now kindergartners!
We did decide to go ahead and start THE BABY with THE TWINKIES and so far so good!
They are working hard on their short vowel sounds!
They are all really getting them down.
Twinkie boys speech makes it very difficult for him to articulate the difference between a short e and short i but he knows which is which and tries....
They particularly enjoyed playing Short Vowel Bingo this week!
Guess who absconded with the camera this week???
BUSTED!
Between their classes they can choose quiet activities or play in the backyard or in their rooms....This week Twinkie Boy had fun with pattern blocks!
The Baby learning to write the letter D
We got a little too hyper and had to do jumping jacks!
Awana Sign Up! Bounce House + Giant Slide + Pelicans Snowballs=FUN!
Quick Fine Motor Project....Cover Whipped Cream Container with Painters Tape and cut a slit in the top.
Challenge....Get the Pattern Blocks into the container without taking off the top. This was GREAT for Twinkie Boys Fine Motor issues.....
He worked....
and worked......
And FINALLY got it! YEAH!!! He had fun even though it was difficult. So I will definitely try to come up with some more of these activities to help strengthen his fine motor skills.
Time for Math
They are all doing well in Math
Gotta work on that pencil grip!!!
Oh well.....
Friday after school they got to watch The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. We just finished reading the original Wizard of Oz during storytime and it was fun to watch the movie and see all the differences between the movie and the book.
They liked both and couldn't decide which was better.
Kindergarten is off to a roaring start. They are all loving their school (most of the time) and seem to all be doing quite well.
We had a great weekend. Randy and the boy spent a ton of time together and they both loved it.
We got to "babysit" some neighborhood friends and the kids really enjoyed that and THE GIRL got to go swimming and sleepover at her friends house.
Gearing up for a big week and looking forward to church!
Love,
Kim
Good to see you tonight, Kim. Glad things are going will with the little guys. BTW, I think the short "i" and "e" sounds are hard for anybody with a southern accent!! I'm always saying, "Well, you're supposed to say it like ___, but we say it like ___" :)
