Flowers in Spring (Part Two)

Wednesday, April 25, 2012

It’s so difficult to write a post these days. (been busy with personal work).  Good thing I keep pictures so it’s for me to track back the activities we did on a specific day/week. 

Here’s the conclusion of our Flower Unit which we started a few weeks ago. 

We picked flowers and identify them.  We later on used them as paint brushes.  Read about it here.

While for our flowers to dry up, Mavi painted the egg carton so we can use them as plant box.

We use pipe cleaners as stems and inserted some beads on it to add a more decors to our flowers.

The end product.  I realize that the cases were too big for our plant box, thus... it is no longer visible LOL.  He placed this in his bedroom window and admired it for a few days.

He worked on flower nomenclature cards and puzzle as well.

Practical Life

Outdoor

Now this is exactly the reason why I always procrastinate to write any updates... we spend my free time outdoors!    It was just so timely that during the time we did our flower unit, we were blessed with a wonderful weather!

Flowers in Spring (Part One)

Monday, April 16, 2012

Flowers are blooming everywhere! My loves smelling daffodils, picking up dandelions and admiring cherry blossoms.  With his current interest, I pulled out a flower theme so I can make use of these interests.

Here’s a craft which was inspired by No Time For Flashcards.  The number corresponds to the number of petals in the flower.  Then he insisted on adding stems and leaves and grasses.

Then on sunny day, we explore the estate to pick up some flowers and identify some wildflowers as well.

Once at home, we identified each flowers and matched them to the ones in the books. (Books were borrowed from our library)

Happy Monday everyone!

Chicks Addition Game

Saturday, April 14, 2012

Last Easter my son and I had a wonderful time playing this “Where’s the Easter Card” game. Here I had 9 cards with numbers on it, I used chicks as counters and an Easter Card (not shown).

DSC_0445

DSC_0448The mechanics of the game is similar to the ones played by Julie in the Adventures of Bear for “Where’s the Cake?” game.

Here, I hide the Easter card under a number card. Then I give him an addition problem to solve. The answer to the question is where the Easter card is hidden.

DSC_0453

He puts the chicks on a container to count.

Here he is working on 4 and 4 is 8.
