For all of our Easter resources please refer to the blog entry titled “Easter Resources“.
April 1-2
Not emotional but educational… and more importantly – LAUNDRY!
But first… MONDAY… April Fools was a non issue here… except for Anthony (god son) contacting a bunch of people with his joke and getting trouble with his mom. I don’t talk to the kids about it at this point. We have enough problems with behaviours right now, I would rather not tempt fate! BUT we did make our April poster… again talking about spring is still somewhat theoretic but we managed.
We started working on our Easter assembly only to RUN OUT of glue stick!!! WHAT??? I could have sworn that I had enough to last a while yet. Which means I probably do but have misplaced where I put them. So instead we started on Wild Kratts… 3 episodes!
The boys worked on copywork out of our Julie Andrews’ Treasury – The Easter Bunny by Rupert S. Holland.
We also had some Easter games I picked up at the Dollar Tree.
Emanuel got a head start on the penguins with his own two page illustration.
Tuesday was a Ken at work day, and the kids and I started right on the penguins with Mr. Popper’s Penguins. Again I am going to do the resource page at the end! This was Emanuel’s suggestion, he has always loved penguins best. We had some worksheets and a second book from the library… What’s in the Egg, Little Pip? by Karma Wilson and Jane Chapman.
We had worksheets to accomplish…
Zander created his own little car ramp/jump for his remote control car.
This also marked the end of our reading program for the school year… one last round of pizzas!
Daddy also had a special picture waiting for him on his desk here at home at the end of the day!
And so our week has begun, as has April!
