We enjoyed doing a few worksheets this week.  Again, we kept it light due to everyone here being sick all week.  there were a couple of days we didn’t get to do much at all but go over things.  We grabbed a worksheet for the letter B to learn to recognize not only the capital letter B but also the lower case.  she traced it inside and we went over finding the letter B in the words at the bottom of the sheet.

We moved on to the number 2 worksheet.  What I did, I went into my purse and pulled out some pennies and grabbed Emmi’s change jar too.  Then as we did the worksheet, tracing the number two and then she practiced writing it herself.  Afterwards, she drew two circles in the jar.  I asked her to take two pennies and put them into her own jar.  It helped make the worksheet come to life.

We took a few minutes break from worksheets and talked about Tennessee.  She pointed it out a map we have of the United States, since that is where Grandma lives..lol.  We talked about a guitar since the map shows a guitar to help kids remember and I mentioned how Tennessee has mountains and valleys.  It was a great way to talk about our vocabulary word and how it relates to things today instead of just dinosaurs.

Finally, we worked on circles.  I really enjoyed this worksheet and how it helped to bring numbers in with the circles.  Kind of two lessons in one deal.  :-D  I asked her to find the number 1, the number 2, 3 and 4 and then I told her to find what colors needed to be used and she colored the numbers that were in the circles.

Luckily this week was a breeze for us since we were sick and we did mostly worksheets.  Emmi knew about all the stuff we did this week, it was just a matter of getting involved.
