Nov 27

Today we worked on skip counting. River did two quick worksheets and we I made print outs of skip counting mazes that she enjoyed. We started with by 2, 5, and I gave her 10s to check out too. Then we did a map worksheet for North America and practiced our site words. River picked 11 words as spelling words so we made a list with pictures and a dry erase worksheet for her to practice on. 

River picked our next theme reading list as "Egypt". 

Nov 28

Today we met with friends to talk about forming a new co-op group. We had fun playing, climbing trees, playing games (they had lots of games like Wild Craft and it was so fun!). 

Nov 29

We had a library day. We got tons of books on Egypt and played some fun library games, including an addition game. 

In the evening we played Happy Hats to practice word building, it was fun!

Nov 30

Today we did a lesson on ancient Egypt, we read through two books, Eyewitness and the Unofficial Guide to Ancient Egypt, both were great leads on lots of new ideas. After, we had a really great day of play and went along with it. 

Dec 1 

We met with our Barefoot group and went on an urban hike to talk about drainage - River did a scavenger hunt with her older friend Emma and we found lots of things on our list. Then we stopped at the library and spent a while there.

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.
