Little Hands to Heaven unit 4
We went on vacation this past week, but dd insisted on doing her letter D (her buddy did letter D the week before and he told her all about it)
and wouldn't you know it, I had brought along her school work
D-D-Dusty Camel. This was such a fun "fingerplay", the kids went around saying it all the time.
We had to find 4 women, and cut them out to put on our #4 page. Dd also likes to practice writing her number and she insisted on doing it without tracing. She does a very good job and even made her own dots
Dd was very shocked that Jacob would tell a lie to get blessed and kept talking about it with her eyes wide open. We did a cute activity tracing her 9 letter name, poor kid
and hiding it. She practiced making D's all over her paper and than painted them. I have to say, that I am so much more relaxed in having the kids art be their own after a few years homeschooling 
Lots of jumping this week after making the letter D, she jumped over it several times and of course brothers joined in on the action.
For the math activity we made a line to jump and put marks on the line and discuss the terms, farther, closest etc. This too got the boys and even Daddy's attention.
She was so excited to decorate her letter D, she put Dolphin stickers on and was very specific about the direction they were traveling.
What fun we had doing LHTH while on vacation, between our trips to the pool
For brothers I only brought TRL for ds 6 who was thrilled to do his reading with Daddy and his reader with his older brother. For ds8 I brought his cursive, so he could finish lower case to start the coming week on his upper case letters.
