"Hey Mama, I want to do some more rounding." I used this free printable graphic to help explain the concept of rounding and he's been asking me to give him numbers to round to the nearest ten or hundred off and on all week.

We've been watching busy bluebirds build a nest in the house Rick built last month.
And we've discovered there are now three eggs!

We visited the new LEGO store in Nashville for the first time on Friday afternoon. Gerrick bought a minifigure and his first LOTR set: Shelob Attacks.
A few weeks ago he really enjoyed the Scholastic Batman readers that I picked up at a used bookstore: The Copycat Crime and Time Thaw. This week he requested I get him more Batman books. I searched around on Amazon until I found some that seemed appropriate. Then I searched for those on the library's website. I was able to find and reserve several and pick them up a couple of days later. I love the Nashville Library!

He wants to learn cursive handwriting because "it looks like another language." This week he got started by copying lowercase i, t, and u.

We're all excited that we've decided to start family "Harry Potter Night" once a week. We've been debating when will work best. My vote was for Saturdays. Gerrick wanted Wednesdays. Rick preferred Saturdays or Sundays. Gerrick was adamant that it not be Saturdays, so we finally all agreed on Sundays. Each week we're going to pop some popcorn and I'm going to read aloud from one of the books. When we finish each one, we'll watch the movie. Tomorrow night we'll begin with book 1, Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone.
Have a great week!

Oh my goodness I LOVE LOVE LOVE that picture of your son in the scoop! What a great shot! And your Harry Potter evenings sound like a great family time!
ReplyDeleteGood stuff! And I know you will really enjoy reading aloud together - we're almost always in the middle of a "family book" and really love it.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how similar our lives are right now!! I have a little guy who is learning cursive, loves Legos, and we are also reading The Sorcerer's Stone!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking with Collage Friday -- I love your very first picture in this post!
What wonderful "snippets" from your week! My students loved our read alouds with Harry Potter. I can't wait until my little guy is old enough to enjoy them, too! Have fun reading them with the family! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the family read aloud. We use to do that but it has turned more into the regular "mommy read aloud".... :( Great shots.
