Austin participated in school a little more this morning then he did on Monday.  This morning he sorted his pom poms.

Then he did a puzzle.

While Austin was working on his things, Gavin was reading.  While Gavin was working in his phonics book and his cursive writing, Austin and I read two books about caterpillars.

Then Austin came back to the table and worked on a color matching game based on "The Very Hungry Caterpillar".

Meanwhile, Gavin and I worked on telling time to the half hour in math.  First Gavin matched some clocks with their times.

Then we played our minute/hour hand matching game.  It is starting to get easier.

In history today we continued to read Pilgrim Stories and Gavin made a model of a Pilgrim house.  We also ate a potato fish chowder for lunch.  It's an old recipe of mine but we talked about how it is something the Pilgrims could have eaten as well.

While Gavin was coloring his Pilgrim house, Austin colored too!

In art today we studied how artists use color by looking at the Monet painting, "Houses of Parliament".  Gavin was able to identify the painting as a Monet without me telling him who painted it.  We talked about how Monet used colors to show the light through the fog, but he didn't use many lines (like we learned last week) because he blended colors together.

Gavin used his red, blue and yellow watercolor crayons and blended them together to see the different colors that could be made from these three colors.

Austin painted a sun.
