Weekly Wrap Up {RRS Letter M}

Well, it has been…a while…since I’ve had any time to devote to blogging. There are many changes going on in our lives right now. It happens. Hopefully the changes of the past few months {and those in coming months} will be fruitful on all fronts.

In the mean time, we’re back at school, which is lending some calm to our days. And, we’re in our NEW school room! Here is our week in photos.

Thing Two’s Preschool Activities

Thing Two’s activities came from the usual places: Raising Rock Stars Preschool (I use several of the Kindergarten RRS activities with him as well), Animal ABCLetter if the Week Preschool, and also some of the Letter of the Week K4 activities too.

Kindergarten with Thing One

For Micah, I recently realized, we are actually into -mostly- 1st grade level work. But we’re still working on counting up to our 180 “official” days of Kindergarten. So, do with that what you will. At some point I guess I’ll have to figure out his grade, but for now we don’t have to report to the state of Washington until he’s 8. I am tracking our days/hours (as they require) NOW so I am in the habit of good record keeping for later. I’ll just keep going at whatever pace he sets academically until I have to officially label him in a grade for our state in a couple years.

Weekly Wrap Up {RRS Ff}

Thing One (aka Micah) had some fun this week reviewing his 2′s Math Facts with a Lego Math Printable from View from the Pew. He loves building with Legos – so practicing his math with Legos was an instant hit!

Candy Land ABCs Card Set

Candy Land ABC Blog Thumb

After I made my Sight Word Candy Land, there were some requests for a Candy Land Card Set with ABCs for letter recognition practice…so here you go! This set has upper and lower case letters, as well as doubles which have commonly confused letter pairs on them (both upper and lower case).

Just click on the image above to download the PDF. Let me know if you play this game (I’d love if you would post pictures to Ironic Adventures on Facebook), or if you have any other Candy Land card needs.

Weekly Wrap Up {RRS Ii}

I am so, so proud of Micah – he recited all of this memory verses up to this week for Raising Rock Stars. He’s a true Rock star! :-)

I feel like I always give all of the camera attention to Ben (aka Thing 2), because he’s doing “fun” stuff. So, now, thanks to a “cool” phone, I can easily record Micah actually saying his Rock Star verses – and that makes him pretty excited and proud of himself. Especially when I told him we would send the video to grandma and grandpa. He loves to show off for people.

No idea where he gets that from, but thankfully I don’t think there’s any chance of you getting your hands on old videos of my sister and me at that age. ;-)

Micah the Rock Star!

And now, Letter Ii with Thing 2…

He had fun doing all kinds of activities from Animal ABCs and Raising Rock Stars (I am using both the RRSP & RRSK level activities with him).

Our 100th Day!

It is here! Our 100th day of school! Today marks the 100th day since we began Kindergaten with Micah. He was super excited for the last few weeks as we counted up higher and high to our “100 party.” We make 100 glasses, stuck up 100 shapes, and did a mystery 100 chart picture, and discovered a Red Angry Bird (from 1+1+1=1).

It was a fun day!
