Week 9 Sun theme

This is the learning board which I put all the things the boys learn on this week. Evan completed the Sun dot-to-dot sheet and also coloring page.




I got a activity book which talk about the Sun, Moon and Earth. I cut out three of them and connected with brass fastener to show the boys how the Earth moving around the Sun and how the moon moving around the Earth.



I gave Evan this worksheet to test his counting. I drew several suns and asked him to count and put the magnet numbers to match it.


I copy this poem down and let Ethan recite it. Some activities I did with Ethan about this poem is asking him to find 5 nouns from the poem and asked him who wrote this poem. He then had to draw something based on his understanding from the poem.

The Sun Shines Down
by Katrina Lybbert

The sun shines down on me,
On flowers, grass, and a bumblebee.

The sun shines down on you,
On trees, birds, and lakes so blue.

The sun shines down on everyone,
How happy we are to play in the sun!

Sun

It is raining these few days in Houston. I decided to let Evan make a "Sun" to scare the rain away. I found the craft idea from the website.

I traced his little hand and cutting into many pieces to glue along the unused lid from a container. He is having fun in putting his "hand" on the lid. I let him pick two gooey eyes to tape onto the sun and draw a big smile. It really scares the rain and it becomes a sunny day afternoon.
