Letter K

Kicky letter K! We had an enjoyable time learning about the letter K. Our books were:

Clifford's Kitten by Norman Bridwell, A Kiss for Little Bear by Else Holmelund Minarik, My "k" Sound Box by Jane Belk Moncure, and The Kite by Mary Packard. The Kite was an easy read. So easy in fact that the girls were able to read me this book with some help here and there.

These are the sentences we wrote:
Katie flies a kite,
See the kangaroo kick?
I kicked the king.
I like kangaroos. (The girls picked what they liked that began with the letter k.)
Karl  flew a kite.
Can I kiss the koala?
We like books.
Do you like pink?

Our poem was:
Kites
The March wind is calling,
"Come fly your kite!"
The wind is blowing
With all its might.
The kites are tossing
In the sky.
The wind is calling,
"Come fly up high."

Our Bible verse this week was:  Ephesians 4:32 Be kind to one another. We also read a lot of stories about King Solomon.

Our shape was diamonds.  

 
In our science time we read about a variety of animals. Watch Aniimals Grow: Kittens by Colleen Sexton was enjoyable for A and E.  Kangaroos by Jolyon Goddard and Koalas by Jen Green were very advanced for the girls but we pulled out a few bits of information here and there. There was a picture slightly disturbing to the girls in the Kangaroo book. We also looked at some pictures of a kookaburra, koala, kangaroo and krill.

In history we read about Helen Keller by Sean Dolan.

Our art time was  spent making kites. I cut out a letter K. The girls cut out diamonds and glued the letter and diamond on to their paper. Then they took some of my scrape ribbon to glue it on for the tail.

 We also had some fun this week cutting out snowflakes and playing with snow dough! I took six parts baking soda and one part conditioner and mixed them together. It created a nice packing density and had a great scent because of the conditioner. I placed it in a container and it has stayed fresh for awhile.
