Summer!

This week we have been learning all about summer and enjoying it as well! 

Here is what we’ve been doing this week. Let us know what you think.  We hope by providing these materials to you free of charge, it will make your life easier! 

Lesson Plan: The lesson plan includes all the lessons for the week, as well as optional ideas. Items following the lesson plan are just the printables or links to websites we used to teach these plans.  (Please note: On top of our lesson plan we are reading books daily that relate to our theme.)

Memory Verse: This memory card is for daily use during our calendar time.  You can learn more about calendar time at 1+1+1=1 or Homeschool Creations.  Our weekly devotional is an object lesson that will help your child apply the meaning of the verse to them.

Day 1:

Summer Spelling- This activity will help your child begin to recognize that when letters are combined they form words.

Roll Graph Summer Clothes- This activity will introduce your child to data collection and interpretation. Make sure you bars are different colors for easier reading. Once you’ve completed the graph (first item to # of choice), make sure to ask simple questions.  Such as, “Which color is taller? What item is that?  Which color is shorter? Which item is that? How many times did we give the (item) a sticker?”  Make sure to show them how to use the graph, instead of just counting the stickers.

Dress for Summer- Allow your child to learn how to put on clothes that they would wear in summer. Encourage them to try and do things on their own, but help if needed.

Day 2:  

Beginning Sound Clip Cards- Helps your child to focus in on the beginning letter sounds he/she hears and then to identify which letter makes that sounds.

Color By Number-  This activity will help your child recognize whole numbers 1-6 and reinforce colors.

Melting Activity-Take a couple ice cubes outside.  Put one in the shade and one in the sun.  Have your child predict which one they think will melt quicker.  Observe what happens.

Day 3:

Sprinkler Beginning Writing- (Can also be used for cutting practice.)You can use this document over and over again if you laminate it and then have you child write with dry erase markers. (Black dry erase wipes off easier than color ones.)

How Many Beach Balls in the pool?- This activity will help your child begin to read, count and model whole numbers 1-10.

Summer Water Fun- Get outside and have some water fun.
