It's Friday!

Hello friends!
Today is Friday and the weather is FABULOUS!  :)  It is too bad I am home with a sick little girl!  I hope that you all have a terrific weekend!

Here are some ideas for you for the weekend!

Math-  This week, we leared to tell time to the 5 minute interval...  Have your child tell you the time on an analog clock when you think of it.  Help your child count by 5's around the clock until you get to the place that the minute hand is located!  We also introduced the QUARTER!  (Busy Math Week!)  Put out a handful of pennies, nickels, dimes and a couple of quarters...  Have your child count the money.  Sort the coins by value and then count!  :)

Language Arts - This week, we learned about homophones!  These are words that are spelled differently, have different meanings, but sound the same.  Words like here and hear...to, two and too...ate and eight...  See if your child can name any other sets of homophones and what they mean.

Science - This week, we learned about Simple Machines.  See if your child can find a lever, pulley, wheel and axle, inclined plane or wedge!  :)

Thanks for all you do!!!  And enjoy the beautiful Spring weather!!!
Happy Blogging!
