It's January. Blah... or, maybe not...
Every morning Faith wakes up and asks "What are we going to do today?". Sometimes I have great things planned and sometimes, I'm not sure. The other "not sure" day, Faith had a great plan! She has decided that she wants to make a clay project complete with dinosaurs, trees, mountains and volcanoes. This great idea gave me an even greater idea. She is going to get a chance to make her fabulous clay project, but we are going to learn about dinosaurs and their habitats (among other things) first. Stay tuned for dino updates!
Not quite as fun but a good little lesson to keep us busy until I can get everything set up for the dinosaurs...The Giving Tree. For this idea I went back to www.lessonpathways.com. This is such a great resource and really helps me put something together quick.
We are going to read the book:
Then, thanks to the help of Lesson Pathways, we have some fun ways to cover the following objectives:
List of Objectives:
- Read "The Giving Tree."
- Learn what trees give us.
- Learn about advanced contractions and practice using them.
- Review all sight words for the year.
Home schooling a first grader really is not difficult. In fact, there are so many resources out there that sometimes the hardest part is narrowing down "What are we going to do today". :)
