We spent a lot of time reading this past week.
Mommy read lots of books to the students,
but they had plenty of "SSR" time to read to themselves too.
Our reading provided lots of material for our imaginations to run wild.
Malachi spent most of the week as a cowboy.
Here, Cowboy Malachi has caught a snake...
One activity for math was counting with our buttons.
Another was drawing a #7 monster eating 7 cookies to help
us with our number recognition.
(The number 7 has been tough for Malachi!)
More reading...
Giving Mr. Play-Doh a haircut was a fun reoccuring activity this past week.
And reading some more...
We studied Mary Cassatt this week
and enjoyed looking at her paintings in this book:
We also viewed several of her paintings at gardenofpraise.com
At the same site, Malachi really enjoyed putting together
an online puzzle of Cassatt's "Boating Party".
He wanted to do this over and over agian.
Karis and Malachi both asked for multiple copies (also at that same site)
of the "Boating Party" painting to color on their own.
Again, more reading...
Malachi turned our couch (as well as Asher's crib) into a fishing boat...
Fishing lead to water-play...
Water-play lead to soup-making... and a big mess!
And finally... MORE reading!
We are thankful for God's unending grace and for another week to learn about Him and His world!
