Kai made this guy and called him Tim. We've been having fun including Tim in all kinds of activities. It makes me laugh seeing his creepy face peering through doorways or propped up against the wall!
If you've been following along, you know about my math struggles. Our math curriculum is out the window, so I have to just make things up until we find something we like. This week we did M&M math, just for fun and something different.
It was fun because it was something we could do all together.
Kai had extra practice after his brothers lost interest. I was surprised to find he likes doing timed drills in addition so we've done several a day and he's getting faster. I like hearing him talk to himself, "Come on, Kai, you know this!"
We did some subtraction practice with marshmallows, eating them one by one and counting them.
Making sensory boxes is something I've been wanting to do for awhile. These ideas are from Pink and Green Mama blog. This one is a "construction box" filled with sand, rocks, and all construction related cars and trucks.
We died rice blue using hand sanitizer and blue food coloring in a ziploc bag.
This is an Ocean in a box. We collected all ocean related toys and put arranged them in the box with the rice.
I took this picture through my kitchen window, it's a view of the boys playing happily while I fixed lunch. These boxes have provided hours of fun for the boys.
Lots and lots of reading
This is a picture of Scott reading Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein. Scott has done a lot of reading aloud this week. We started Dr. Doolittle, which on our Sonlight reading list is scheduled for the next four weeks. Well, they got so into it they finished it in three days!
How was your week?
