We went to Bible Study in the morning. The boys went to their class. We hosted a luncheon with three friends and their children after. I watched C1 and C2 in the afternoon and they participated in our homecshool activities.
Fingerplay
"Time to Move"
Bible Story
Mark 8:22-25 and Luke 9:12-17
Children’s Bible: Jesus healed a blind man and fed 5000 people
Active Exploration
We talked about what it would be like to not have the sense of sight. I placed items in a pillowcase and the boys had to pick and item and figure out what it was before they pulled it out. I also stated an item and they had to feel for it. All the boys loved this activity. It went on much longer than anticipated.
Letter Activity
The boys practiced writing ‘T’s:
We also did "Hide and Seek T"
Math Activity
Online Deal or No Deal (Learn numbers form 1-26)
I also laid a piece of yarn on the table, and placed five pieces of bread on one side. I then moved a few pieces to the other side and had the boys count all the pieces. I alternated the pieces between both sides. The goal was to teach them that there was always five pieces of bread regardless of which side of the yarn it was: 5+0=5, 4+1=5, 3+2=5. The boys happily chomped on the bread once the activity was over.
Color Activity
The boys went around the house picking items that were brown. Then they brainstormed items that are brown and I printed images of them on the computer. I cut them out and the boys pasted them on a piece of paper: (honey, dirt, bear, wood, bread, hamburger, chocolate cake)
