Letter B

Beautiful, bountiful letter B! For our reading time we read: Berlioz the Bear by Jan Brett,
Bathtime for Biscuit by Alyssa Satin, Bernard, Me, and the Letter B by Cynthia Klingel and Robert B. Noyd, Cowgirl Rosie and Her Five Baby Bison by Stephen Gulbis, My "b" Sound Box by Jane Belk Moncure, and Blackberry Banquet by Terry Pierce.  Our vocabulary words for the week were: big, boy, ball, blue, and bee. Our theme for the week was butterfly.

Our poem for the week was:
Butterly, butterfly, whence do you come?
I know not, I ask not, I never had a home.
Butterfly, butterfly, where do you go?
Where the sun shines, and where the buds grow.

Our sentences for the week were:
The bison is brown.
The boys play ball. (We did this two times!)
The bee buzzed by.
The butterfly is blue.
See the bright ball?
Please buy butter.
The boat bounced.

During our Bible time we read about the Tower of Bable. Our verse this week was: "Let everything that has breath praise the Lord." Pslam 150:6

One day my husband and I were talking about some math stuff. A and E overheard us and wanted to do some mathematics too. So we gave them some simple addition problems and they did amazing! The numbers didn't total about 10 but they were able to do them all with just a little guidance from us. We also looked at the number 18.


Some other books we read were: Benjamin Franklin by Wil Mara, You Have Healthy Bones! by Susan DerKazarian, Butterflies by Gail Saunders-Smith (this one goes over the stages of the butterfly in one sentence at a time), Butterflies by Martha E.H. Rustad (this one has lots more details on butterflies and their changes). We also looked at some pictures of a bluebird, buttercups, bluebell flowers, bison, baluga whale and, beaver.

A is really interested in dancing so we read Beautiful Ballerinas by Elizabeth Dombey. Also we listened to Riimsky Korsakov's Flight of the Bumblebees.
