Mavi is 37 months old.
We’ve been reading this book along side Bear Hunt but I decided that we should separate the unit studies for each book.
Here are the activities we did in line with Blueberries for Sal.
LANGUAGE. Determining beginning sounds of pictures from the clipcards which I downloaded from the B4FIAR packs.
Read, build and spell of words based from the books. This is currently his favorite activity.
I love it that would read the word using their phonic sounds :)
PRACTICAL LIFE. Sorting blueberries (blue pompoms) and other berries hehe using a clamp.
MATH. We did an introductory lesson on addition using blue pompoms as blueberries.
After combining the orange containers, here he is counting the number of blueberries after adding 2 plus 2. Will provide a separate post on this.
Tracing lines.
I observed that on the end part of the line, his trace becomes a little jagged. He must be tired.
Doing the worksheet from First School.
Later on I found him reading the words again.
ARTS. We made bushes with lots of blueberries and added tree stump. I cut all the necessary stuff, then I taught him how to make mini balls of cottons and glue them on the bushes. He made all the cotton balls here and asked him to put blue paints to make it look like blueberries.
We seldom have crafts activities and I was glad that we did this because he truly enjoyed the activity. It’s his first time to work on cotton balls and he was amused. He did this activity while I was doing the dishes, with less supervision he was able to do what I wanted him to accomplish. By the time he finished his work, he was so happy and he immediately displayed it in his room.
This is his finish product.
