Homeschool Day 2/8

 Kindergartener

• Beginner's Bible - story of Joseph and the coat of many colors

• All About Reading - he read about 20 CVC words with plastic letters
• Get Ready for the Code phonics- he's finishing this series up - we worked on it off and on all year

Five in a Row - Make Way for Ducklings

• He watched the Magic School Bus episode (on Netflix) "The Magic School Bus Cracks a Yolk" - the episode went through anatomy of a chicken egg
• He cracked a real egg and then learned how to make scrambled eggs (he cooked this himself on the stove)
• We read Make Way for Ducklings (obviously)
