Bean's Color of the Week - RED

My tot (Bean,) like many tots, has a low attention span. I started the color of the week (thanks crisc) and we spent the first day gluing on and painting the red pictures, then we will spend the week reviewing in short intervals. Seems to work and he is super proud of his new concept!

The prints outs are from the "My first color book" from Confessions of a Homeschooler!

I gathered some of Bean's favorite red items to use as examples.

(Last week) First few days of homeschool in pictures...

I realized that I shared this post on my other blog and did not share it one here.


Okay, and maybe a few words too! Sorry the pics are not the best. They are all iphone pics...couldn't find camera!!

Starting with breakfast! Monkey opted for waffles.

First day as an official 3rd grader! We set her up in a corner of the home office.

The lapbook project - Butterflies <---more on this soon!

Great monthly calendar, that she can update every day and a weekly calendar, so she knows what her daily assignments are.

This is the only "stage" we got to in our tot activities. Then he proceeded to take the whole crate and throw the pieces all over the room. That was soooo much fun picking up! He may still be too small. It was fun though!

I bought foam multi colored squares and circles from target for $1 each and the plastic shot glasses were a set of 4 for $1 at Target too.

The activity is great for hand eye coordination, stacking, pouring, and a bunch of other stuff he made up himself. Simple. but Bean loved it!

It was truly an amazing first week!
