Hurricane Matthew-No School

So, we found out yesterday afternoon that school would be closed for the next three days due to the amount of traffic that would be coming through our area with the evacuation routes. So, today, Madalyn and I had school at home. I had her weekly newsletter with her skills she was learning this week in school, and we started from there. I have lessons planned for tomorrow and Friday as well. I didn't want her to get too off track with being out for this long. Plus, it also gives Madalyn something to do during the day and helps keep her busy.

Our school day began at 9 am instead of the usual 6 am today and that was really nice. We started with Math, learning about AB patterns.

Reviewed shapes

Used Play Doh to make shapes. Then Madalyn had some free play with Play Doh while I cleaned the kitchen.

We had morning recess...it was a little windy and a bit chilly this morning. We went on a fall nature hunt.

Alexis joined us for our morning recess time. :0)

It's fun to be outside!

Practicing the letter Y

Sight Word for this week "the"

We read The Very Hungry Caterpillar book and sequenced the food the caterpillar ate.

Madalyn had some time on the computer with ABCmouse.com and we had a field trip this afternoon....a trip to the dentist for a check up.

Madalyn got these bracelets and ring for being good at the dentist. She experienced her first time having X-rays done. Everything was good, however, the tooth fairy is going to be very busy at our house over the next year or so. All these permanent that are lined up to be coming in. :0)

When we got back from the dentist, we had our afternoon recess. It was a good day and we will repeat tomorrow, without the dentist of course!
