We read "Goodnight Moon" over and over this week! We read Psalm 127:2b and discussed God caring for us even while we sleep. We also read Genesis 1:14-19 to review His creation of the sun, moon and stars on the fourth day.
Homeschool Creation's "Goodnight Moon" pdf had many useful printables. We printed page 16 for syllable practice. Pages 17-18 were used for rhyming practice. Then we used pages 23-24 with a bingo marker to find words within the story.
We completed another book report and practiced verbally summarizing the story.

Letter of the Week: G
Bada Namu offers printables for all letters of the alphabet! It was different and fun for her to complete.
Science
Since the eclipse a few weeks ago, Addie has been highly curious about space and the moon. We printed a moon observation journal from 3 Dinosaurs. She kept a weather journal in the past for a week, so she was thrilled to keep a new one. The pdf also includes moon phases bookmarks - we used them to scramble and then put in order of the moon phases.
SciShow Kids' channel includes this video on the moon phases!
StoryBots Super Songs Episode 1, Part 1 is on Outer Space. The songs are on the sun, the moon, the planets, the Earth, and the stars. "It's My Time to Shine" went along perfectly for this week, but she enjoyed them all! She specifically loved the sassy Earth saying, "The moon is kinda like my hula hoop!" when talking about the orbit.
Math
Pointing out many different shapes within the illustrations of "Goodnight Moon" was easy. We mainly reviewed clocks this week. We have a wonderful book called "Tick-Tock Let's Read The Clock" by Bobbi Katz. We also used page 15 of Homeschool Creation's pdf to create a clock.
We practiced number sequencing using Homeschool Creation's sequencing cards. Wonderful printable!
Art
We worked on blending primary colors this week to make secondary colors. We used clay, or "play-clay" as she calls it, to make new colors!
Painting her own moon was so much fun! She used tin foil to create texture in the paint, as well as sprinkling epsom salt on top. Then she used a thin paintbrush to dot stars around it.
