R is for Rocks

Last week we talked about the letter R, which is a particularly fun letter since that's what our last name begins with!

Our Bible story for the week was about David and Goliath (and the five Rocks he had). The first thing we did was make a Goliath face and then take it outside to hang it up 9 feet high. Goliath was a tall guy!

Of course, we had to collect some rocks while we were out there. We brought them back inside and had a little fun with them. First we put them in order by size.

Then we practiced a few math problems with them.

We needed somewhere to keep our rocks, so we sewed a little pouch to carry them in.

Ta da! Not bad for my first sewing attempt!

We also talked about the number 4, and we used these colourful "rocks" to decorate our number.

We also turned our R into a rain cloud to help us remember what sound it made.

I got a new magazine, so we searched for some R's in there.

We had a little hunt for the words from our Bible verse, and then I put them in the correct order.

We did a little dot-to-dot fun to make our letter for the week.

One of my favourite stories is Little Red Riding Hood, so this was the perfect week to focus on that with all of those R's in her name! We read the story and then put the parts of the story in order. That helped tell the story all by myself to Riley Cates!

We also had our "baskets" like Red Riding Hood to sort capital R's and lowercase r's. 

And a peek at our work wall...

Another fun week of school!
