Several weeks ago, Ms. Mary and Mr. Bob came for their highly anticipated monthly music hour. They brought pictures, clothing, and instruments from Africa and Japan, and they taught us several new songs from each place. They also taught us a song about flowers that was sung both with spoken words and sign language!
We learned all about the human body last month, so one of our children brought in his life-sized skeleton to share for show-and tell. We loved being able to see it and learn many new bone names!
Also, our older children have been working a lot on spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and writing neatly. They do an amazing job on paper with dotted lines, but the children's new challenge is writing on wide-ruled paper.
We have also been working on story writing. The children have been writing so much, some of their composition books are almost full! Below are a couple of the stories our four- and five-year-olds have written over the past few weeks. Most are completely unedited and have all original spellings. (Overwhelmed by the creativity, I snapped a picture of the stories to send to the children's mommies before we had a chance to correct any mistakes.)
