Today is…Wednesday Jan 12 2011
My friend recently purchased the same preschool book I refer to for many of my activity ideas. As she is a lot more on the ball than I am, I think I may have to kick up my homeschooling act a bit…
They walked with us home from the gym, and we started our time with picking out a plastic dollar store dino from a bag, and then making sounds like that dino might have made, or walking like that dino might have walked, or guessing what that dino might have eaten.
Then we had a fun snack…
My friend had purchased the oatmeal with “hatching dino’s,”
so we poured on the water…
…watch the dinos hatch…
…and ate some dinosaur oatmeal!
Then we filled pans with wheat (neither of us had wanted to rescue sand from our sandboxes) and plopped in some dinos:
Which kept the boys very busy for the next 2 hours.
After Ettin and Galoot went for naps, Giant enjoyed some computer time—he was particularly attracted to the dino games for some reason:
And I had him write down the names of some of the games he played (to sneak in a little writing practice):
[Dusor/in] “Dinosaur”
[CLiFrD] “Clifford”
