Our lessons for the next few weeks will focus more on learning the alphabet, than anything else. Abbie seems to still be struggling with her letters, and I wanted to make that our primary focus for a while. I used the Confessions of a Homeschooler K4 Curriculum, and altered a few things slightly!
I had 3 main activities planned, and she did well with them!
The Vowel Sorting Game could have been made more difficult by putting consonant letters on the board as well, and I may try this the next time we use it!
She really enjoyed this game, because she was good at it!
The clothespins have Uppercase letters, and wheel has Lowercase letters. Her job was to match them up. This was a struggle for her, but she stuck with it. The other side of the wheel has Uppercase, and we have clothespins with Lowercase letters too, so we can go back and forth!
I had to help her some, but she was very proud of the completed wheel!
This game was fun and different! We used the game board that came with the curriculum, and I pulled out 2 game pieces from the SORRY game, and the alphabet die from the SCATTEGORIES game! We rolled the die, and if you could say the letter correctly, you moved to that spot! Abbie got frustrated when the game didn't seem to have an end. I might have to add a few rules to give it some more structure in the future!
Abbie seems to enjoy our homeschooling at the moment, and I informed the school today that we would be holding her back a year! She is excited about learning at home with me, and I am excited to see what the next year holds in store for us!
