Reno's Way: May 2010

Farm Animals!

We are now moving from bugs and critters to Farm Animals. This will be exteremly FUN for Reno...she is a major animal lover. She will be reading a ton of books that we checked out from the library. I will update with a book list soon. I have planned a lot of crafts, pulled all our farm animal puzzles, and so forth! Stay tuned for more farm FUN!

Bug Puzzle

This is a Melissa and Doug Puzzle we have had for a while now... it fit right in to our bug unit! Another activity Reno spend a lot of time on...which tells me it was a fit!

More Ladybug Stuff!

Our cute ladybug craft using a paper plate, red paint, pompom balls, and goggley eyes! Reno reallyed like this one!

I gave Reno some stickers and she covered the letters in her name with them..she wanted to do that one again and again!

Flower Math

I got this activity from Making learning Fun. Again I copied, cut and laminated.

This one was a little difficult for Reno and we do it together to limit frustration. Since we are studying the Farm this month I will continue this activity with her.

Our First Sensory Tub!

We used rice, oatmeal, graham cracker crumbs, quinoa, sprinkles and of course the bugs! REno had so much FUN!!!! So glad I finally did this!

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

I have always loved this book... I loved it when I was teaching my 1st graders, and I loved it for my girls. So much so I splurged on the story telling vest and the story telling pieces for this book! Kgirl loved it~still does and so does Reno!

We read the story and then Reno placed all the pieces on the story telling vest. She needed some help to keep the story in order, but I was surprised how much she remember without my help.

Ladybug Math

I got this activity from Welcome to Making Learning Fun. I copied, cut and laminated for durability. I also put Velcro on the dots so the puff ball would stay out!

Reno loved this activity so much. She is really getting the hand of one-to-one ratio.

During our Bug unit we took a trip to the Butterfly Pavilion. It was the perfect spot to learn about these bugs in real life... Alice and I even help a Tarantula!!! She only did it because she got a sticker!
