We attended our second Nature Circle today, and the theme was Rocks Are Fun. DD brought her rock from Cannon Beach, OR for show and tell. She heard a story about rocks and learned what a geologist does. She even got to see and touch a fossil. She had a great time playing after with her friends at the small stream we discovered.
Since the Nature Circle handily takes care of all our science needs, we came home and read more stories. This time, I gave her a letter A magnet to hold and I pointed out the letter and its sound whenever we came across it. Tomorrow we may trace the letter A and maybe make a collage about the letter A. Using scissors is always a good incentive.
One of our books was a math book about matching (socks), so we talked a bit about pairs and what aspect of one sock looked different or similar to another sock. We should probably play a few rounds of Memory to reinforce the concept. There were several suggestions in the back of the book, some of which involved crafts--not my strong point-but we may attempt them anyway.
