Coins and Continents

Our favorites in Math this past week were buying groceries with our pennies, complete with a conveyer belt,
and buying toys with dimes.
We spent a couple days on continents again.  We made a map of the eastern hemisphere by tracing the pieces from our world continents puzzle.  Maybe this week we will do the other side of the world.
We also tried to match our continent flash cards to the correct continent on our wall map by looking at the shape of the land in orange.  This was a little more difficult for them than I thought it would be, so we will be practicing this skill some more.
I introduce the -at blend to Malachi
and he practiced sounding out different words.
Handwriting has become a favorite for the two oldest Wilson kids...

And lastly, at his request, we have a chicken...
Although not shown in the picture, this was a role-play
activity complete with "corn" on the ground and the necessary pecking.

Only by God's grace, another week completed!
