Every day we do our date, day of the week, record the time and the weather on a thermometer. We did not have the time and weather sheet today, but she did do the month and date in coins.

The kids got together and made paper bag baskets. Then , we went to the park and hid eggs and the kids searched for them. Leslie had confetti filled eggs. I read the book by Leo Lionni, the most extraordinary egg.
Megan now has a more intensive morning routine, which involves doing coins for the date. She also has to tell me the time of the day and draw it on a clock , highlights the day, writes the number of the current date, the previous date and the date after it, and draws in the temperature. Then she has to take the number of days in school and record it in terms of hundreds,tens and ones, and then say how much that is in terms of dollars and cents.
She still writes the date, day of the week, spells out the date in letters, and writes a sentence or two about her day in her notebook.
We went over Spanish for a little bit, learning or practicing
color names. First she colored fruit with the Spanish name written on it and practiced saying the color as she did it.then she started a rainbow where the lines of the rainbow are written in Spanish color names.
I started working with her counting and learning the
body parts. I am making cards where I put the written name on one card and a picture on the other. I will ask our neighboring I am pronouncing the words right.
Read two of these stories, Tobias and the dragon and a donkey's load. I had Megan try and predict what was going to happen in the story. There is a definite pattern as the ordinary guy makes the dragon believe he is stronger, but basically Tobias plays on the dragon's fears. The other one, a donkey's load, a poor person is cheated out of his donkey's saddle and plays a trick on the person to get it back. We discussed both of these stories.
