Letter “g” Growing

I enjoy Peschool Corner hosted by Homeschool Creations, it is a great time to share what we have been doing with our children during the week.

We had a good week, but a little quiet on the schooling scene. We talked about the letter Gg, and focused on “growing”. Selena continues to tend to her fish daily and even thinks they have grown a bit. She was busy with her own growing this week, potty training that is, and did very well. She went most of the week without her pull ups, throughout the day, except for naps or if we had to go somewhere, and I must admit we only had a couple of accidents! We talked about how this was even apart of her growing up.

She surprised me at the library this week, she knew exactly which book she wanted, it is one I rented from the library a while back when we were introducing potty training. Selena walked up to the librarian and asked her politely for “A Potty For Me”, I think the librarian at first thought Selena was asking where the bathroom was, so I quickly said no, she is talking about the book entitled that. The librarian went and found it for her, and Selena quickly ran to the table to start reading while I picked out the other books. Again we discussed how this was a part of growing up.

She is doing very well with her numbers and counting higher an higher all the time. I challenged her this week to count pennies according to how many I wanted her to count. She loved this activity and it will be one we will do frequently.

How I did this: I put the pennies in a dish,  then handed Selena a numbered piece of paper, she had to tell me what number was on the piece of paper, then count the correct number of pennies to represent that number.

Selena always enjoys cutting paper. She is doing so much better then when we first started with scissors.

We checked out all the trees in our back yard, but I must admit that Selena was more interested in all the spiders that have taken up webs on her swing.

Selena earned the right to purchase her handbook for Awana Cubbies this week, so of course we had to begin the first section, which is a review of the verses she has learned thus far. There are some great activities to do with your child, and actually it worked in very well with the themes of this week.

Come on over to Homeschool Creations and check out what others are doing in their Preschool Corners, while your there join in the fun, we would love to see what you are doing as well.
