teaching ideas for this week

teaching ideas: Spanish colors taught using finger puppets of various colors one for each finger sing to the tune or "thumbkin" replacing finger word with color word in Spanish read Spanish board books re-read Curious George with an emphasis on "Monkey energy" and talk about appropriate places for it and talk about ways George gets in trouble because of his monkey energy. Re-read some of the earlier Laura Ingalls Wilder books with an emphasis of Laura's helpfulness with chores and quick obedience. Wear mouse ears to inspire us to be like Mrs. Tiddlemouse. Read the story too. Choose chores which one do you want to do first? Re-read poems in our poetry binder and work on memorizing "Shadows" For learning narration and art appreciation... Try brainstorming words about a work of art and then writing a poem or prose narration based on what we come up with.

  1. I just read several of your older posts. You are such a good mother-teacher, Jen. I love reading about the activities you do with Claire & Emily.
