I am officially logging today as Mckenzee's first day of learning! We decided to call it "Princess Day" and therefore the line of lessons written about it will all have a Fairytale theme!
Once all the boys had left for their day of fun it was time for Miss Mckenzee and me to get started on some learning fun. We started by playing a counting game with Kai-Lan where we both had the chance to catch beautiful butterflies. Mckenzee caught 5 more than I did, making her total 26 and mine only 21. Then we had a listening lesson with Ye-ye and danced with him like he told us to. I explained to Kenzee that listening was very important if we wanted to go to school because that is one way that we learn! After all the laughing and fun dancing Kenzee said she wanted to rest so we decided to watch an episode of WordWorld which is quickly becoming one of her favorite shows.
Today's episode had her favorite character as the star of the show! Duck was getting ready to play baseball with his friends but something was missing. He needed a BAT and in order to get a bat he had to BUILD A WORD! Mckenzee loves to build a word so now I am proud to say she knows how to! She knows how to spell bat and that a bat is what the players use to hit the baseball before they run around the bases all the way to get points. When Kenzee asked me how we count points and what they were I was presented with another teaching opportunity!
Since I had to make brownies for tonight's family get together, I decided to have her help me out. First we read the instructions and she had to "listen", then we had to gather our ingredients. She helped me get the big bowl and the spoon, then she got out the oil and the eggs. She then helped me count out four eggs and even helped me crack them! She was very proud of herself. Then we counted all the way to fifty while stirring everything together in the big bowl! She told me they were "Princess Brownies" and we will be having them with special magic drinks later! (We are making Root Beer Floats tonight too)
After the brownies were done cooking we came upstairs and made some crafts, we assembled a homemade wand and crown which she loved! After making up a story about how the beautiful princess spent her first day at school, it was time to practice some letters!
She did a great job at practicing her A's, B's, and C's I am so proud! This teaching-learning adventure is off to a great start and I am very happy!
More later my Faithfuls!
