Week 4 ~ Language arts

We finished up with our language arts this week.
Matthew continued learning letters and their sounds.
We practiced more alliteration and finished up our story of the Prince.

The last letters were
F (fawn)
B (bear)
U (golden star)
and
R (Rapunzel - Grimm)

Here is some of his work...

He wrote out all the letters we learned and went over all of their sound.

Next we did a lot more painting.  We approached this week with the actual lesson that Steiner suggested for the first lesson.  He gave the example of using green and blue then, yellow and blue and stating how the first was O.K. but the later was beautiful.

Next we let the colors play at the park together!
Once I got them started on this they just rolled with it.
 They made up amazing stories about the colors.  I was
all prepared to do that, but it was out of my hands and
they had so much fun imagining.

Tillie danced on the paper too during drying time :)

We got the yarn on his needles this week too!
He was a little frustrated.  He kept trying though. 
We used a beautiful story from our curriculum and the following
mantra to remember the steps.

In through the front door
Run around the back
Peek through the window 
Off jumps jack


It really helped to have this story.

He didn't finish a project yet, but we are still going to work at it.



We also had fun this week taking huge hikes down to the river.

I just love how much time we get to spend outside.
It is were we are all the happiest!


All of our hens are laying now!
we are getting 8 eggs a day.

This week we made chicken noodle soup and I showed the kiddos
how to make home made egg noodles.

If anyone would like to share in our bounty let me know :)



Next week is nature week and we are focusing on Halloween!

until then,
