This last week of playing school was a little slower paced than the first, but we still had fun. Aylin learned about the letter Y and the number 0. We only did one Bible story for the letter Y: The Rich YOUNG Ruler. Our favorite activity was Yogurt Painting! She thought this was the best thing, she even told different people about it, friends at church and strangers at Joann's. It's very simple to do, just add food coloring to your yogurt of choice and paint away. We taped a big Y on our paper before getting started, and when she was finished, I wrote "yogurt paint" with white paint. It was very heavy so I laid it on another piece of construction paper and placed it on our kitchen table to dry. After 24 hours, it was hanging on our fridge. It hasn't started smelling, yet :)
Yes she ate it, too :)
We also made a Y out of YARN. She needed lots of help with this and we actually worked on it randomly for a couple of days.
This was also the day that I had an exchange student: Rapunzel!
She made a Y picture of different things that start with Y and hung it up on the fridge. She did the cutting for the Yard by herself and all the glueing; she LOVES to glue!
We also watch videos on Watchknowlearn.org. I have a classroom set up and put different videos in there for her to watch. It is FREE to join and set up, and if you make a classroom you can set it to private or public. It is a great resource to use, but I recommend you watching videos before just showing them to your students.
She also plays games on my iPhone or her daddy's iPad whenever she wants. May I recommend buying the app LETTER SHOOL. Aylin loves it!
We do flashcards with our letter of the week, some tracing, and reviewing, too. Of course, we read as many books as she will let me. You can also find read alouds on Watchknowlearn :) This weeks agenda is the letter L and number 2.
