Aa Apple

We started school last week. We decided to use Heart of Dakota’s Little Hands to Heaven this year with Sammy (4) and Liam (2). I have several goals for them each this year, and  I thought that the curriculum looked great and fit with our goals. Though we did get a curriculum for the boys, I will not be pushing them. That is actually something I like about the curriculum.

This week we focused on Creation. We decided to make a creation book. We completed 2 pages. I only have photo’s of 1 of the pages for some reason. Oh well.

Day 1 of creation we talked about how God made the heavens and the earth, but we talked about how God made something out of nothing. for the art project I drew the sun and a moon, and some starts on a piece of paper paper with white crayon, and then they painted the paper with black water color to reveal what had been drawn on the paper.

Day 2 he separated the waters from the waters.

 

We did an Aa is for apple theme, and completed many different cute activities. I was very proud of Sammy’s coloring sheet. He did more that just scribble. This was AMAZING for him.

Both of the boys had a different agenda than I did this week. I wanted to do the lessons in HOD. They wanted to do Busy bags. They won. LOL

We did work through our HOD Unit 1 the best I could. The boys really were not interested in anything but Busy bags and playing outdoors so I do not have any photo’s I just tried to get the lessons in while they were playing or we skipped them. I am hoping to have more HOD stuff to record next week.

I almost forgot we read the read several alphabet books and focused on the letter Aa. Sammy worked on tracing the letter Aa with his finger.
