B is for Butterfly

letter of the week

We've just completed week two of  Confessions of a homeschooler - Letter of the Week.  A little late due to the whole family getting a gasto bug last week but we did manage to finish it up today.  

We started the week with a Muffin Tin Meal in butterfly muffin cups.

Using the floor mats George lined them up from 1-10

Then I called out a number and George had to find it and jump on it.

Counting the butterflies then found the correct number.

Cut and paste - George started cutting out the butterfly pieces and then after cutting out one piece i finished the rest for him.  He glued it into his book all himself.

We made butterfly wings.  Which the kids had to show their Nanna as she LOVES butterflies.

George loves these little puzzles even though they are very easy he always games to do them first.

I had trrouble finding do-a-dot markers, they're made in USA and not in shops in New Zealand.  I ended up buying them online and George really enjoys using them.

I let George use the do-a-dot markers on the colouring in page as he really does not like colouring in.  I need to work on this with him as he doesn't seem to understand how to scribble lines together to get a block of colour and just complains that he can only draw lines.

Writing practice.  George always starts this activity with a lot of enthusiasm but needs to be pushed to finish it.  I don't usually make him finish it but I like to to try something from each page.

Butterfly lacing.  He really enjoys this task as well.

Counting butterflies.  This I had to push George to even try, he just wasn't interested.

We also did several crafts which I'll post about later in the week.
