Nuts and Bolts

I've been a little lax with the camera for a week, but here are a few things we've been doing.


Reading, reading, reading.  Thanks Grana for the Barbie readers.  
On an unrelated note, could you just dive into those dimples?

A Montessori-type activity inspired by a trip to Lowe's: different size nuts and bolts. 
Lucy loves stuff like this.


Shared writing.  We write about our reading together each morning.  We have lots of language lessons emerge naturally (like an sh- review for Zoe's word choice of "shout" and a long I lesson with "kite").  Lucy sounded out and wrote "Fly" all by herself (we helped with the Y- sound).


We are learning about more and less than in math and Number Sense is a great little app for kindergarten math.  One of the games has you manipulate until "there are fewer red fish than orange fish" for example.  It makes her think and is just the right amout of tricky.


Lucy likes her snow sensory bin.  Here, she built a snowball pyramid.

And here she is making fancy snowflake patterns.  These will cost you 3 glass beads in the store because they are "super fancy and beautiful."  Fair enough.

We went ice skating with Dad and cousin Brett who came to visit with Grannie for the weekend!

One last read-through before the big day tomorrow!
