Preschool/Kindergarten level

We studies about the Italian artist, Giotto who was the father of the Italian Renaissance period. We learned how to make our own paint and how to blend colors. |

The following four subjects are generally the same for each topic of study. The remaining subjects, which change with each unit study are listed below. I have also repeated any subjects that have an added idea for this particular topic of study.
|
|
| Reading: | Read articles and borrow books from the library on the topic of study. We also read stories daily/nightly, and we read the Bible. |
| Phonics: | Right now, I mainly use file folder games using phonics flash cards as the skill cards in the game, and I also make skill cards for review of what we've learned. |
| Writing: | Practice writing vocabulary words and upper and lower case alphabet. I use a dotted font to make the words/letters on a lined paper and the kids trace them and then write them. |
| Music
and Geography: |
Using
the Animaniacs
song, "America"
we learn about the
states and capitals. We try to learn 1 or 2 lines of the song each week.
I have also made a States & Capitals Memory Game to drill the states we have learned. |
