Her cotton ball went 40 in!  - Catapult build/worksheet - MSTA word building worksheet with magnets River also had fun painting under the table with my fancy gouache - it's a surprise for my birthday! 🍰 Sep 13 Today we did some bookwork; - E/R sound worksheet - reviewed MSTA sounds worksheet - measuring worksheet in inches - measuring distance and height in inches (BQ232-235) - practiced counting by 2's (BQ174) - began counting by 5's (BQ175) We also practiced counting money.

Sep 19 Today we had co-op with our Diamond State friends. River started with gym class for an hour, and then geography class where she learned about different land forms and made her own using playdoh, followed by drama class where she got her part in the play. They did a table read and River has about 6 lines. River received a worksheet to further develop her own character. After lunch and playing at the playground for an hour, River had nature STEM. The group was building launchers out of sticks, string, and rubber bands. River worked pretty independently, although the idea was for them to work as a group (other 6-7 year olds).

In geography River went over the globe/continents and then made her own using a balloon and some coloring pages pasted into the balloon. Next she had drama class where she joined with her playmates to go through their first try at their play Enchanted Forrest including stages directions and setting scenery. River is pretty nervous about her lines, but excited to be with her group.  After lunch the kids had nature-based STEM where they practiced the best way to clean up an oil spill in the ocean.
