Week 3 Planning

I'm finding a little groove here but I think that the kindergarten curriculum is moving too fast for us now.  So week 3 is going to be a blend of things from the first 2 weeks that we were unable to complete on time.  I think that this may be the case every few weeks, so I'll just plan that in.  Every 3rd week will be review and covering items we didn't get to.  This feels like such a relief because now I feel I have so much more time to cover the things in the curriculum without forcing him to sit down longer than what he is really able to.

So this week will bring a little writing practice.  We'll try to focus on writing his name left to right a bit more consistently.  We'll also be doing his first phonics lesson ("am") and his ability to absorb that will probably determine our pace for the rest of the year.  I have some fun ideas for "am" and I'm excited to try them out.

I will also try to integrate the 2 art cards this week and I'm going to have access to the recommended read-alouds this week as well.  There is also room in our schedule for counting practice.

I'd like to re-visit the geography portion of our lessons a bit more and discuss other continents and countries, not just our own.  We've already talked about our country and the flag, maybe this would be a good opportunity to take a look at some flags from other countries.  Maybe then he'd like to create his own?

Hopefully I'll get to taking some more pictures of what we're doing day to day because pictures are always nice to break up a wall of text and I want to show off our projects as well!  Until then, remember I also update our goodreads page and I try to keep an active pinterest as well.

Wish me luck this week!
