Math & Geography

Today was a great school day! Although our "curriculum" only took about 20 minutes and he learned to read a few more words and got better at writing some numbers and his name, it was the learning outside of the "box" that was the best and taught him the most.

K cutting out a dinosaur he drew. The final product, a Seismosaurus (Size-mo-saw-rus)
L learning about coins.

K taking a break from rolling coins. By the time we were finished rolling coins (we ran out of sleeves), K was able to read the name of the coins on the sleeves to know which coin went into which sleeve. Although I did recount the rolls he did, his counts were pretty close to being accurate. One of them was exact and the others never had more than 3 or 4 extra coins in them. He did a great job and was a big help.
A little U.S. Geography before bedtime.

K enjoys playing this game and it's helped him learn his states. We keep it pretty simple and just spin and move our car the appropriate spaces, but every time we land on a state, we have to say the state out loud. He can recognize about 10-15 states on any map. I hope he continues to enjoy learning as he gets older.
