PreK - Week 25

This week we finished up Unit 4 - Jacob's Family in Egypt. We read about Moses and the burning bush, Moses returning to Egypt to tell Pharaoh "Let My people go!", and about the 10 plagues. Samuel made a book where he drew each of the 10 plagues. He had a lot of fun with it and did a great job.

In science, we read about plants and what they need to survive. We talked about how it was amazing that the burning bush was on fire but did not burn up. We also talked about living and non-living things and what living things need to survive. We went through each of the plagues and figured out if they were living things or not.

We continued learning Proverbs 3:5-6 and Samuel was able to say the entire thing. He was so proud of himself for learning it all.

We're still reading Reddy Fox. This week Samuel had to write a warning to the animals telling them that Bowser the Hound and Farmer Brown's boy are coming and they need to be careful. He even drew a picture to illustrate it.

We learned the letter N in language arts. Samuel did a great job on his handwriting. I think he's looking forward to getting through all the letters in a few more weeks though. Our LA curriculum is very repetitive each week and I think he's getting bored with it. He's doing a great job with reading though and is progressing through his Hooked on Phonics books.

In math, we finished up patterns and we've started working on the terms small, medium, and big. We've been looking at different groups of items and talking about which one is the biggest, which is the smallest, etc. Samuel already knows this so it's mainly just review for him right now.
