Homeschool Day 2/2

 Kindergartener

• Spent most of the day playing outside - in the park this morning and then all afternoon.  In fact, he did school outside, too
• All About Reading - he was supposed to read a story in the reader.  I can't get him to read the reader.  I have no idea why.  He doesn't like the reader's font - especially how the lowercase a's look.  So, I wrote the text from the story on the driveway in sidewalk chalk.  He put his foot on the letters and then said the sounds to sound out the words.  He was able to read the story from the sidewalk chalk, but not the reader.

Five in a Row - Ferdinand

• We did the "measurements" section on the driveway with sidewalk chalk and a yard stick
• We answered some of the art questions and used sidewalk chalk to draw the scene in the book with the stadium in the background

He really spent most of the day in imaginative play outside.  I dragged some old walking sticks into the backyard and he used those for all kinds of imagination things.  Here he has his sleeping bag in his "tent".
