Sewing session produced this little sweetie of Student's creative design and skills: Dolly. Student used her machine to sew the limbs and then stuffed them with clouds of polyester surrounding her. Fabric choosing was easy this project, as she wanted some parts to be the same as her cousin's choice for her doll. And, in the end, there is no doubt that those eyes and those earring additions to the regular pattern, resulted in a Student original! Thanks to Heather for bringing the pattern to our session!
For a Friday, we are thankful for the sun and breeze and have experienced our share of recess today!
Math continues with new seatwork that arrived with the last bits of our first grade curriculum, just yesterday. Our chart counting to 200 received some activity today, along with place value flashcards.
Phonics and Space learning are among our end-of-the-week activities. Student however, is so interested in her new cursive writing tablet, that she is motivated to finish each subject just to be guaranteed that cursive will follow!
History was prompted by Student's creation of our flags, yesterday. We researched both the Christian and American flags. Student right away had big plans for her paint colors yesterday, and truly was disappointed about only using 2 colors! So, we just had to learn why those colors were chosen. This kid-friendly site was a big help!
and Student says: The colors of the flags are the same. The red on the Christian flag, is for Jesus blood. White is for purity that Jesus has, and the American flag has white for purity, too. But, our country is not holy.
Making the doll was my favorite part. It was cool having school at night! It was really fun to finish the doll, but I was sad that I didn't get to finish it that night. But I will sleep with her tonight!
