5 Senses

I forgot to mention that for 4 weeks (or until the library books are due back), homeschooling the home bound will be exploring 5 blessings: smell, touch, sight, taste and hearing. Alhamdulillah. I realized once upon a time we had a book called Allah Gave Me Eyes. I am sure it is long gone, because is was ms. Mofsa's favorite bed time and anytime story. I must get another copy or try and have the whole series ordered at the library, all in the name of multiculturalism. Ironically, the have Yusuf Islam's A is for Alif and the board books stories of the prophets.
So far we have red a couple of books on hearing and I found a whole series in the non-fiction J section on the senses. Where did I get this idea for thematic learning? Well, I am sort of following the Houghten Mifflen pre-k program on www.eduplace.com. They have teacher resources, printables, bibliographies and learning goal sheets. With a little creativity you can play along without having to buy the books. Also, I got an okay montassouri book, why I say okay, well it doesn't have a lot of pictures (I admitt it, I have ABKB). But after skimming it after dinner, I realized I need work on processes with mis Pesa. For example, how to greet people. We will be working on this soon, insha'Allah. I don't think I feel up to sandpaper letters, I tried it, but who has time to cut all that out. I mean geesh!
Today's agenda will be the letter P, pasting beans on a P, also a collage on what we smell. Sounds sticky!
Okay, this post was brought to by the letter, P, the number 4 and all our friends here at Homeschooling the Home Bound, see ya next time!!!
