Day 4 Today after rereading BFF we talked about quilts. In our read aloud time we've been reading some books about quilts. Lincoln has a special quilt that his Gramma Tam made for him when he was a baby. It has little boys pretending to be pirates on it. Lincoln did a writing activity about his blanket. He told me the words he wanted to write, and then I called out which letters he needed to make the words. When he was done, he drew a picture of his blankets with three pirates on it. He did not want to use any colors, only pen. He told me that the pirates are sad because they are trapped in a net. They all three have hats and hooks.
This is what Lincoln wrote, "I love my blanket but I like it. Grandma made it for me. Blanket." We've been working on having him put a space in between hid words. I think he did pretty good this time.
When we were done with the writing, we did some patterning. I made this patterning sheet, that had three quilts with colored squares, and then three blank quilts. Lincoln's job was to color the blank quilts to match the patterned ones.
Other than the fact that he insisted that the color orange was brown, he did great. And at least he consistently said orange was brown.
Day 5 After reading BFF we talked about patience, and whether or not Frances's parents had patience with her. We also talked about our favorite parts of the story. After that, I pulled out a sheet of sequencing card that I got of off homeschoolshare.com and Lincoln cut them out and put them in the right order.
After that, we talked about morning, afternoon, evening, and night, and the activities that our family does at these different times of the day. Then we sorted the activities into their respective time of day using a little chart that I made. Linc had a little trouble distinguishing between evening and night, but I think we got it all worked out.
And that's the end of our Bedtime for Frances unit. Next up, The Gingerbread Boy by Paul Galdone
