Today instead of a structured time like yesterday, we did real life application lessons throughout the day:
-On our way to the grocery store we talked about stop lights. We talked about the colors, red, yellow, and green, and what they meant. At every stop light P would tell me the color and what it meant (green means go! yellow means slow! red means stop!)
-At the grocery store P helped me pick up our produce. We counted, named, and talked about the colors of each vegetable and fruit. She pushed around a little cart full of the food she had helped package up.
Games:
One of our favorite games is I Spy. On our way to the water park later in the day, we played I Spy with colors. This was especially fun because our water park is very colorful!
Coloring:
After these two activities she colored in her Kumon coloring book. There were a few pages that matched what we were doing that day (stop light, umbrellas, food.)
Science and Hands On:
In the late afternoon we made playdoh from her Memaw's recipe. My original intention was to have her experiment with mixing colors, but she wanted pink and we have pink dye. I still think this was a good activity because anything with mixing, cooking, measuring, and ingredients, is in my opinion, a great step towards learning about science.
Book:
