Third Day of School

Today is our 3rd day of school. Meet Tessa. I forgot to take a picture the first day of school so here it is on the 3rd day.

Painting Letters

Mr. Wheels loves to paint. Today I got a white crayon and wrote the capital letters A to I on the easel paper. I watered down some blue paint (any dark color will do). At first he painted and then I wiped off the extra to reveal the letter. He got tired of painting and we switched. We had fun.

Leaving Saudi Arabia

Today she left Saudi Arabia and entered India

Sewing

Today the girls worked on their quilts. They have been learning how to sew on Fridays. We have had so many interruptions that they have just gotten to the first project. They had fun. They will be able to finish the next session.

Learning Arabic

We have been studying Saudi Arabia on our way around the world. Kit was supposed to look in a book and copy the Arabic alphabet. I was able to find a YouTube video that explained each letter and told us the sound for the letter. It was a much more interesting. She is writing each letter as the video explains them. She will not be able to write any words after the lesson, but she will have an awareness of the writing. In know that I never had this experience. After we were finished we looked up some Arabic alphabet songs. It was interesting to compare it to how we learn our ABC's.

Learning Numbers

Today Mr. Wheels was matching his refrigerator magnet numbers on the number sheets. I am always amazed at what he can do.

Dogs Day 2

Well I made the magnet pom poms but Mr. Wheels loves the marker thing better. He went and got out the marker bag. I did add refrigerator magnet numbers to the story each time Dog gets a spot. He does like it. After I made all the stuff I looked online and someone had the same idea before me. Here is a bunch of ideas at Making Learning Fun.
