Old School Beats


I guess this is our "Keepin' It Real" week in our homeschool lessons. We have taken it back to LP education again, and our record experience today was with 2 boys and rhythm sticks! Got to love Moms, and my Mom picked this Rhythm Stick Activities record out at the local thrift store for 20 cents!
Well, spoons from the kitchen can be many things, and my Art Teacher always said that a tool is what you make it...so here's to rhythm spoons and records!

With the absense of Student, we have continued reading, and practicing the 50 States song for our audio recording when she comes back. Summer Pupil picked out a book from the library on his state, and Texas it is! Ten Cows to Texas. I think we'll all be more cowboy-ish by the time we are done with this unit!

Literary Record Fun

Folk Tale Record Day! Stories of our childhood recovered!

Literary terms:
summarize
hero
herione
moral

We had fun contrasting heroes we know and our new folk tale heroes from today: John Henry and Casey Jones. Toddler appreciated stories including trains!

Reading continues for Summer goals, as well as outdoor play before the storm rages!
Student: My favorite was Casey Jones.

Summer Pupil: My favorite was John Henry...singing "I'll die with this hammer in my hand. Lord, Lord."
