1 and scavenger hunt Friday

Thursday we did a little bit (a very little bit) on the number 1. Basically we put one sticker on our 1 index card and then did some fine-motor skill work by placing stickers on another 1. We spent the rest of the morning at the library and spent the afternoon meeting a new baby friend of ours!

Friday was our recap/scavenger hunt day. My plan was to have us hunt the neighborhood for A, square and 1 things, but of course Millie had other plans (we are currently all about looking for signs of fall). Here's what we found:

Week 1: Aa, square, 1

As I mentioned in my last post, our main curriculum is from Letter of the Week, so letters are this "school year's" theme, though I'm taking a cue from the preparatory curriculum and also including a shape and a number each week. 


We'll start with letter A, number 1, and squares.
