Day #6: "Mom, I Feel Bones in My Foot"

Tuesday morning has been another gloomy and cloudy morning, I still have a scratchy throat and head congestion, but how could I resist teaching my little guy about the bones in his foot when he comes running to me, all excited, saying "Mom, guess what, I can feel bones in my foot". So, what I did (almost right away) was search the amazing world wide web for a print out that I could use to help him learn the bones in his foot. I  found a few images that I could copy and print out from this site; he loved them.

I love that we are just into preschool right now, where schooling is not as structured as it can get in the higher grades; where the child can be involved in planning what he learns. What I am learning is that homeschooling him for preschool is that it is so much easier to tailor the lessons to his personality and help him to expand his mind and explore his interests in his/our time. 

Here is a look into our day:

Working on his bones of the foot printout

After we talked about the names of the bones,
we would feel our feet to see where those bones were on us.

Here is his finished paper, he chose a different color for
each group of bones and circle the name with the same color

Such concentration when writing his numbers on his math sheets

Finished math sheets, not sure why in the second
sheet though three out of the four answers were 4.

 Singing and dancing to an alphabet song

The kids loved this song, it was upbeat and even 

worked on getting the kids to sound out the letters.

Trying to sound out the letters along with the song

Thanks for joining us on our journey!
