Polly Pink's hair is pink!

Here is our map of the 7 continents (I cut them out, Kendyl glued them on to our 'ocean background' by looking at a 'real' map-with a little help matching the ones that 'hook' together). We have been learning a little about each continent and Kendyl has made a poster for each one. It looks great in our classroom!! :)




Today we started studying North America and will now begin concentrating on the United States for awhile. We talked about countries and how each one has a flag...then we made our own 'flag' for the U.S.A.

One of our stories today was Mable Murple. Very cute story about a girl that dreams up a world that is completely purple, with a girl like her, named "Mable Murple". After reading this, I asked Kendyl what color she would color the world...she said Pink... then came up with "Polly Pink". We wrote a little poem about Polly Pink.
Polly Pink's hair is Pink.
So is Polly's bed.
Polly Pink's cat is pink.
So is Polly's head.
Then Kendyl made some pics of Polly and I wrote out most of this poem, having her fill in the rhyming words.

It was a great day of educating...can't believe how much she has learned in just over 3 weeks of school! She is counting to 79 without any help or a number chart, and to 100 with a chart! She is writing her last name-sometimes forgetting the 'h' or 'r' (but it is very difficult to spell and we never really worked on it until the first day of 'school'). She can read a calendar, do basic addition, has 4 different Bible verses memorized, and so much more, that 3 weeks ago, she couldn't do!! I'm so excited to see how much more she will learn and experience this year! She loves learning new things--and that is going to make her SOAR!! :) love it!!! :)
