Little Eyes

Something that I wrote and posted a few days ago :-)

Do your little ones need a some help regarding time? Check out this little handout! Perfect for study and ideal for a math handbook. Grade level specific for Kinder - 2nd. Helpful! Clear Instruction. This particular sheet works well with the following packet Great for {Back-to-School}

MIA!

Hello Everyone!! I know - I know! I've been MIA for a long time! A very long time. Long story short --> I had difficulty logging into my account. Yes, for an entire year-in-a-half. Finally!! Outside {Help} assisted me... BIG TIME! Yay!! I'm very happy that my blog is now up and running!! I was bummed when I was unable to open it!! I tried everything that I could think of at the time - worked on it by myself, YouTubed videos, contacted support {{SEVERAL}} times, and more. Finally! I met a tech-savi person! What a blessing!! YAY!! Alright - well, CLA has been up to a lot of stuff! Homeschooling, Meetup groups, social gatherings, church functions, Homeschool co-ops and more! Lots more. Not only that - another move. It's amazing how the Lord changes things. You never know where you are going to end up in life. I remember when I was younger - thinking- 'Okay! This is my plan in life' within regards to 'dream job', where I was going to be, and how I was going to make it there. Yeaa! Well! That certainly didn't pan out. I've always said that the Lord has a personality! Never in my life - I would think I would be sitting here at my desk in this particular city at my age typing a blog not-to-mention ~ designing lessons for other people to use along with homeschooling! I will say this - I did checkmark one thing off my original list ~ teaching! It's all a blessing! I just have to keep the faith, learn to take in things better (I admit -I'm terrible with change!), and become better towards 'life'. Life in general along with the people in it -are not stereotypical in-the-box 'thinkers'. Things around are not formed because of me. (Not, that I would expect it to be.) That! Right there is how I approach teaching. I will try every single method possible in order to assist, teach, learn, and adapt. All for the purpose of guiding a young one. So, the point of this entire entry - Focus on what is important rather than meander through what seems dull. Make 'life' happen.

Penguins, Penguins, & Penguins!!

Penguins and Penguins!

This unit was a short one that consisted of a lot of reading, research, and a few Youtube videos.  All were driven for the purpose of understanding, insight, and respect for *the penguin!  
(My little guy and I absolutely loved looking at the fun pictures!) 

The unit focused on the following Life Science Common Core - specifically surrounding 
K.L.1.1 and K.L.1.2
Structure and Functions of Living Organisms.

Math:   Blend ~ Estimating, Measurements, and a Craft.
 

This math lesson follows along the Mathematics Common Core Standards.
CCSS.Math.Content.K.MD.A.1 Describe measurable attributes of objects, such as length or weight. Describe several measurable attributes of a single object.

CCSS.Math.Content.K.MD.A.2 Directly compare two objects with a measurable attribute in common, to see which object has “more of”/“less of” the attribute, and describe the difference. For example, directly compare the heights of two children and describe one child as taller/shorter.
 

• Estimation penguin growth.
• Compare to the child.
• Take out the measuring the tape.

My little guy made this entire penguin all by himself!!

 

Materials:

• Tape
• Large sheet of paper
• Black and orange markers
• Measuring tape
• Glues stick
• 2 large wiggly eyes

Directions:

Step 1:  Tape several sheets of white paper together.
Get out the measuring tape.
Measure the paper according to the penguin of choice. 
*The measurements are noted within the books.

Step 2:  Draw a penguin. 
A large oval, arms, and feet.

 Step 3:  Almost there!!

I did not help my little one.  He was able to draw the entire penguin on his own.

Woohoo!! Look at this penguin! 
This was the exact measurement for this little guy.
We compared the penguin to my little one in addition to things around the house.

 

Reading Comprehension:

Bring on the Chapter Books!!

 

This part of the activity we read a chapter every night.  We went through, asked questions, and predict on what would be next. 

 

• We read and discussed the book.  The above picture he drew 'Mr. Poppers' and one of the penguin friends.  He dictated what it was and I wrote it.
• Made several things that came from the book... one being the 'cookery'.
• In addition, we did several comprehension lessons in regards to what my little guy retained and so forth.

 

 Read: Penguins and Antarctica - Magic Tree House Research Guide

We read a few pages due to the fact this particular book was perfect for children who are bit older than my little guy.
