This week we learned about pioneers in preparation to go to Living History Farms! We also reviewed the letter Pp, the number 3 and continued with the word IN.
Books
We read the following books this week:
Theme Introduction
This week, we introduced the theme in a manner we're going to when we start Preschool in the fall. We sat down, talked about the theme, which was pioneers, and we brainstormed what we already knew about it. I wrote it all down on the white board, and we referred back to it every day. Please don't judge me on my art skills.

Sight Word
We continued with the word IN. Arthur is getting really good at reading the words we've learned.
This week we continued doing some circling of the word, and we even found it in a work sheet that went along with the week's theme. All the work this week can be found at 3 Dinosaurs
Letter Review
As with every week, we practiced writing.
Math
Instead of working with our review number this week, we worked on some easy math as an introduction to addition. Since he's not there yet, I wrote the numbers, but he did all the counting to get to the numbers. We also did some simple which picture doesn't belong activities.
Field Trip
This week we were able to take what we learned in the classroom and apply it to the real world. We went to Living History Farms, which is a museum that shows what life was like on farms in 1700, 1850 and 1900 Iowa, and in a town in 1875 Iowa. Arthur had a lot of fun. He really liked visiting the farms and seeing the animals. He also liked all the hands on activities there were.
