I hope to accomplish a lot the first few days this week. Lemur has a dentist appointment to deal with 11 cavities :( I never would have thought a 4 year old needed to floss, but apparently she has 11 cavities all in between her teeth. Something to think about for those of you with small ones like me. Brushing is not enough, flossing is now mandatory in this house. I expect after her appointment the rest of the week will be spent consoling. I've been warned that they will probably want to knock her out to deal with them.... I'm not sure how I feel about that...... I've been told this office's threshold is 8, anything more than 8 they want to sedate them. Three of the cavities are on her front teeth. I'm hoping I can convince them to let those slide, she'll be losing them in the next year or so anyway. That puts us at 8 and would not require sedation..... I'm nervous about it. Don't like it!
We also have a lunch date with one of my cycling friends this week. We've been talking about it for months so it'll be nice to finally get together.
Writing:
Continue working on story book
Tamarin - practice writing q and p, b
and d, Lemur - Practice writing C and 3
Math:
Think up at least two gnome math equations
Wormy Apple game. I forget
where I found this, but you print a handful of apples on a page and draw holes
in each from 1 to whatever. Then you cut pipe cleaners into little green "worms". They
have to match the worms to the amount of holes.
Either card math or domino math game for Ellie
Science:
Moon - one of the science
experiment books (pg6)
Moon craft, one, two
Nature scavenger hunt (with some changes) and then look at it under the microscope.
Bugs! We've been talking a lot about bugs lately, so I'm going to try to find some more sites on different types and we can do some of these crafts.
(before 8am the girls have already caught a mosquito, a moth and a who knows what. I just left the front door light on last night and this morning our front door was covered in bugs. Since it is so cold they could put up little fight.)
pushing hibernation off a few weeks till I find my books or the new ones I just ordered get here.
Music:
Tamarin - Piano. Mandatory this week.
Arts
and Crafts:
Sewing
crayon vs watercolor: the homeschool group had an art get together to teach this last week, but the time wasn't good for us.
Season related:
mini jack o lanterns
Just for
fun:
painted hand puppets - help the girls improv a play. We've done something similar before, but these hand paintings are adorable and give me a lot of ideas!
Every Week:
Circle Time. I give myself no choice this week. It had to happen.
Tamarin - Write day, month, time, sentence, sprout progress, Lemur - encourage her to draw an animal in her book and sprout progress, Howler - draw whatever she wants.
Chart the moon every night.
Read picture books every day as usual till they are bored.
Read chapter book 2 times a week with Tamarin.
Encourage Tamarin to read BOB books.
Tamarin - Sight word games or crafts twice a week, Lemur - similar game/craft with letters
Write the letter of the week sheet (c)
Write the number of the week sheet (3)
As for my personal agenda for the week - tackle this:
The crib, aka the laundry bin, is right beside my side of the bed. It is the first thing I see in the morning and the last thing I see at night. It is a constant reminder that there is always SOMETHING to do in this house. Every week I make progress, but the thing is never empty. With a family of five it is nearly impossible to ever have ALL the laundry done. This week though, I want everything where it belongs so that I can pull out baby clothes and start sorting what Capuchin will need. Only 73 days, with my birthing history, more like 68. That sounds like plenty of time and not enough all at once.
