Kindergarten at Home - Day 19 - Homecoming Game!


Tonight was my daughter and son's first live football game!  My kids' half sister is a senior in high school and was on the Homecoming Court, so we went to her school to watch the game and see if she won Homecoming Queen!  Her best friend ended up taking home the crown (that's okay that my step-daughter didn't win because she already owns pretty much every other title in the school, including Student Body President!  She is a great kid... er, um, young lady!).  Each Homecoming Princess had a giant candy bar to open and the girl who had the golden ticket hidden inside was the one chosen by the student body to be queen - the kids thought that was so fun to watch.

Lesson 1 - Math: Trapezoid and Polygon.  Learned them on the hammock outside!


Lesson 2 - Science: Healthy Habits.  Brushing your teeth, taking a bath, washing your hands, and eating healthy foods!


Lesson 3 - Language Arts: Making sentences. 
Also, to Responsibly Reproduce Rr's, Readily Reducing Recorded Rewrites.
A portfolio assignment from her teacher was to have my kindergartner come up with two sentences: one about a healthy habit she already does, and the second is about why it is a good thing to do.  My daughter chose healthy food because it helps you grow and gives you energy.  I wrote her sentences first, then she practiced copying below it.  Then, we practiced reading and memorizing ending sounds with the slider tool.



Lesson 4 - Social Studies: Share and Be Polite.
Would you like some? Please, and Thank You!  We watched a video about how to share and be polite, and then they practiced outside on the deck with their granola bars (my kiddos are already pretty polite, but sibling sharing? Forget about it!  Well, they share and get along 85% of the time, but for the other 15%, Momma wants Calgon to take her away!)
