Helping with the grocery list
We’re gearing up for officially starting homeschooling kindergarten this August and so I have lesson plans and activities on the brain.
(Although all learning around here is initiated and led by our daughter. We do not believe in pushing her academically. After all, she’s only five years old. And she’s plenty precocious and self motivated on her own.)
Our daughter is particularly interested in geography (i.e. planning trips), reading historical fiction, playing math games, bird species identification, and writing lists.
And so we do just that.
Planning a menu from 1854 pioneer America
Drawing birds we’ve spotted at our house (with the help of photos from the Stokes Beginner’s Guide to Birds Western Region
Playing math games with Cuisenaire Rods
Lucky girl!
Love all the lists! Shopping, recipes, etc! What fun! And her Dove sketch is great!! Glad she still enjoys her Cuisinaire rods!
I am so excited for this year to see what she does at home with you, compared to my little Kindergarteners. (She is already way more advanced and self motivated than 95% of my students!)
