So, I explained that through drawing, children are able to not only apply their thoughts and imaginations but also reinforce their learnings. It doesn't matter if their finished product is gallery-worthy; it's the process of drawing and engaging in art that truly matters.</span></span></p><p><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;">So I have asked the help of Chat GPT to come up with 20 fun and engaging prompts for my active and creative son to allow him to apply his learnings more through drawing.</span></span></p><p><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;">I have created printables to add to our Morning Basket and I am sharing with you some of these drawing prompts so you can try them out too.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Should you wish to get the entire set, you may purchase and download them at my <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Teacher-Weena" target="_blank">TpT store</a>.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">About Animals:</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;">For homeschoolers following the CM method, drawing animals
and nature may be less challenging compared to those who have no prior
experience with nature journaling. However, it is important to note that these
prompts are not meant for journaling purposes, but rather to encourage
creativity and imagination in applying what a child has learned about animals.
I highly recommend reading living books about animals, such as "Nature
Stories" by Florence Bass or "The Burgess Bird Book For Children,"
and "The Burgess Animal Book," with your child, as it will help them
brainstorm ideas for each prompt.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 12pt;">
</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;">I intend to incorporate these prompts into our
homeschooling routine once or twice a week. Based on my experience, my son
usually does not complete a drawing in one sitting. He often continues to add
more details to it throughout the week or even over the course of a month.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCdY4diuGXtxJtUZNcwYHTknw6VOx2SsilISlAURyVQz6bm_vaZQRezlOKdAiTwx5AoqPkehNpIPY3sCtygr0usj9KoSqiEp8kBgUPMPh3z2SN60Et68FfvqafbWNpkyNDO1jqWzgX3q6KERHsp_UYNDmowAk-PEH1D7b2RPKe8pVRHVJthT5lpkxNgDpq/s1200/Fun%20And%20Engaging.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="800" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCdY4diuGXtxJtUZNcwYHTknw6VOx2SsilISlAURyVQz6bm_vaZQRezlOKdAiTwx5AoqPkehNpIPY3sCtygr0usj9KoSqiEp8kBgUPMPh3z2SN60Et68FfvqafbWNpkyNDO1jqWzgX3q6KERHsp_UYNDmowAk-PEH1D7b2RPKe8pVRHVJthT5lpkxNgDpq/w133-h200/Fun%20And%20Engaging.png" width="133" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><br /><br /></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EOdz8aHE023T0ERCxMp4p3QtKUMvL0-v/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;">Free Fun And Engaging Drawing Prompts About Animals</span></a></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Animal-Drawing-Prompts-For-3rd-and-4th-Grade-9865700" target="_blank">Complete Pack Fun and Engaging Drawing Prompts About Animals</a></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;">About Geography:</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;">The prompts cover general concepts on
geography, but if your child has knowledge about other countries and
geographical locations, they can incorporate additional ideas into their
drawings. Books such as "Paddle To The Sea," "Little House on
The Prairie," "Treasure Island," or Charlotte Mason's
"Elementary Geography" are excellent resources for those who are new
to the CM method.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMJCCNtwAsu1IwNZ-Gl9oMbvvrWUWioRy5TPh3jom_A0_7Q8UvBR1iXs9Gp9uU-42ALEPXt6CaUB61SSt1WalmB_hLP70k8b9vOfOQrHKygs_KNw0NNtWCAf3-rP_pobF1N9Hof8gopuNU5MTTYQP8XCrbwsBr4xUhuazmy5GCyUSW41N36lAuZJdBM9wY/s1200/Fun%20And%20Engaging%20(1).png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="800" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMJCCNtwAsu1IwNZ-Gl9oMbvvrWUWioRy5TPh3jom_A0_7Q8UvBR1iXs9Gp9uU-42ALEPXt6CaUB61SSt1WalmB_hLP70k8b9vOfOQrHKygs_KNw0NNtWCAf3-rP_pobF1N9Hof8gopuNU5MTTYQP8XCrbwsBr4xUhuazmy5GCyUSW41N36lAuZJdBM9wY/w133-h200/Fun%20And%20Engaging%20(1).png" width="133" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><br /><br /></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zcfymSd0haY5lJ0uJmQf32o4TFTfj8ff/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Free Fun And Engaging Drawing Prompts About Geography</a></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Geography-Drawing-Prompts-for-3rd-and-4th-Grade-9866056" target="_blank">Complete Pack Fun and Engaging Drawing Prompts About Animals</a></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;">About History:</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;">The

The World and The Story of Civilization Vol. 1 and 2, both you and your child
can gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for the events and individuals
that shaped our world, rather than simply memorizing dates and locations.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn7t4eFrzkQTaDt5Bf52OWWOwwLBUeNc-Fpk-kzZEtnVDmLdlWnwsx_trcqqtHQ4HrjQkjDpY9Paaxay8p14_b7A-7iXBhSGhk_becwM4iIobjputWtZapFxQZOrgXYO49wA5Ij9xYRMrb_SdXCX2PiSPdzJ-bE65pFnm7m0TR3veYRdhdd_kbquWRNlrD/s1200/Fun%20And%20Engaging%20(2).png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="800" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn7t4eFrzkQTaDt5Bf52OWWOwwLBUeNc-Fpk-kzZEtnVDmLdlWnwsx_trcqqtHQ4HrjQkjDpY9Paaxay8p14_b7A-7iXBhSGhk_becwM4iIobjputWtZapFxQZOrgXYO49wA5Ij9xYRMrb_SdXCX2PiSPdzJ-bE65pFnm7m0TR3veYRdhdd_kbquWRNlrD/w133-h200/Fun%20And%20Engaging%20(2).png" width="133" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><br /><br /></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/15YCeWCxIr4CH4pzf5G1XWw87gsF0CWQy/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">FREE Fun and Engaging Drawing Prompts About History</a></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/History-Drawing-Prompts-for-3rd-and-4th-Grade-9866069" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;">Complete Pack Fun and Engaging Drawing Prompts About History</span></a></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Get all 3 drawing prompt sets at 20% off at my </span><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Drawing-Prompts-Bundle-9868506" style="background-color: white; color: #88bb22; text-decoration-line: none; white-space-collapse: preserve;" target="_blank">TpT Store!</a></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Drawing-Prompts-Bundle-9868506" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1260" data-original-width="2240" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2TonRD2UsLwnhHOAwv2V-w_0bEuwdOCNije9AbIfWua8KqdTx7D63XvAPm2CMmt92MaC1mn-ejJItcObtSHa_QV0A9pY6UDijvhV8Uf23yOpnSNQqwyYhldXBXEPulQpV0u06XMqBoAefoSekm65wtKUcf7DJtUWLXpeQ_mX6qF4ECuvtInXVQPdBOfek/s320/BUNDLE%20@%2020%25%20off.png" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;">I would love to see some of your children's work!

active, highly creative child who adores reading but is far ahead of his
reading level can be a challenge. He isn't fond of extended periods of sitting
and lengthy lessons that hinder his ability to experiment and explore.
Nonetheless, he has an insatiable love for research, independent discovery, and
experimentation. Although he finds writing and drawing challenging, he can
spend countless hours constructing marvelous creations with his Lego sets and
constructing cozy pillow and blanket forts. To cater to his inclination for
exploration and discovery, I have sought the assistance of Chat GPT to provide
us with engaging and enjoyable writing prompts that will keep both of us
occupied and foster continuous learning throughout this upcoming homeschool
year.</span></span><o:p></o:p></p><p style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;">I have created printables for these writing prompts so that we can just pull one out when needed.

But don’t let that stop you from reading from your favorite children’s Bible. You can find a list of the </span><a href="https://www.catholicicing.com/best-catholic-childrens-bibles/" style="font-size: large;" target="_blank">best children’s bible at Catholic Icing</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><b>Lesson Focus</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"> 1. God loves us. Note that when we read the Bible, in Genesis 1:31; From day 1 to 5 in the text it says; “God saw that it was good.” But notice the difference on the sixth day.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span>“God looked at everything he had made, and found it very good. Evening came, and morning followed—the sixth day.”</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"> 2. God gave us rules and responsibilities</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand;">“God blessed them and God said to them: Be fertile and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and all the living things that crawl on the earth.”</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand;">Genesis 1:28 NABRE</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;">I’m pretty sure you have had your toddler and preschooler insist that he or she ‘help’ in the house chores, or in any ‘work’ that they have seen you do. Rest in the thought that God has planted this desire deep into your children and that you can again and again, help them grow in virtue and love of God.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;">3. To love God is to obey Him</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand;">“The Lord God then took the man and settled him in the garden of Eden, to cultivate and care for it. The Lord God gave the man this order: You are free to eat from any of the trees of the garden except the tree of knowledge of good and evil. From that tree you shall not eat; when you eat from it you shall die.”</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand;">Genesis 2:15-17 NABRE</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand;">https://bible.com/bible/463/gen.2.15-17.NABRE</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;">I have told my once toddler; and now my Kindergarten students each year that “When we love (someone), obedience will follow.” They may not fully understand it yet, but if we model or show our children how to truly love, this greatest Theological virtue will slowly grow in them. And obedience will follow.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;">4. God still loves us, even if we make mistakes.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;">My son was very sad when I came to reading the part when God knew that Adam and Eve disobeyed. He became even sadder when they were banished from the garden of Eden.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;">In order for our children to believe that God still loves us, even if we make mistakes, we must model to our children giving and asking for forgiveness. I always took my once active toddler, not a toddler now but still very active; to confession - yep, even inside a confessional box. He still comes with me and my husband but sits on a pew, quite far from us, and definitely not inside the confessional box.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><b>Read A Louds</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;">We always begin with reading a loud. I have a YT video of the story of Adam and Eve from The Jesus Storybook Bible. If you don’t have a children’s bible yet, you may listen with your child(ren) from YouTube videos for this lesson.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://youtu.be/tNEHWtf_GFQ" target="_blank">The Jesus Storybook Bible: The Terrible Lie</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://youtu.be/ZJIk1jLFKCY" target="_blank">The Usborne Children’s Bible : Adam and Eve</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;">Books on Scribd</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><a href="I'm reading The Children's Bible: Illustrated stories from… on Scribd.

This may take a while to learn but keep at it and soon, you and your little one will be doing down time and quiet time each day.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><b>Arts and Crafts</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;">We did a Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil paper craft in my Catechism class this year.

This homeschool Catechism lesson will surely delight both you and your children.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>Read-A-Louds</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Again, start with an engaging story. If you have a children’s Bible at home, snuggle up and read the story of Noah’s Ark. Our favorite when our son was a toddler was the Jesus Storybook bible. I have a read-a-loud over at my YT channel. </span></p><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/28ZWVHkiDuA" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">If you are still searching for the best children’s bible for your children</span><a href="https://www.catholicicing.com/best-catholic-childrens-bibles/" style="font-family: arial;" target="_blank">, Catholic Icing</a><span style="font-family: arial;"> has the perfect list.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Here are other read a loud videos of Noah’s Ark </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDjTBfO_WiQ" target="_blank">Kids Books Read A Loud: Noah's Ark by Igloo Books</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfYXbWgO7_I" target="_blank">Noah's Ark by Piper Pad Studio</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>Music and Movement</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">There are so many animal songs on Spotify for you and your child to sing and dance to. Making animal sounds and imitating their movements while moving to the beat will surely be fun. You may use YouTube videos for your music and movement activities also but I recommend that children just listen to the music rather than watch a video with music. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Music and movement can be done anytime of the day, whenever you feel like singing and dancing. When our son was little we used to have dance breaks during the day, and its usually the songs we sing and dances we dance that are related to the week's lesson.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Here is the playlist I use for my online Catechism class.</span></p><p><iframe allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="380" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/playlist/2jm5l636sCts9Gfv5qJImp?utm_source=generator" style="border-radius: 12px;" width="100%"></iframe></p><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>Listening Game</b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">I played this listening game with my preschoolers in the classroom to improve on their auditory recognition skills. There is a short YT Video that I made for my online Catechism class. Check it our <a href="https://youtu.be/RUQt-mDINck" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>Bird Watching</b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Step outside with your children to watch our little feathered friends. Your children will delight in watching and observing these cute creatures as you point out to them their movements and sounds. This gentle introduction to birdwatching will definitely pay off when your homeschool curriculum calls for bird study or biology. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">You don't need any special equipment, really. Maybe just a few grains or bread to invite some birds to come near you. Little ones might be too excited and noisy and run about, but you can model and gently remind them that if they want to see these little friends up close, they have to try their best to be quiet ad keep still.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>Arts and Crafts</b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">You can find a few animal crafts here at <a href="https://teacherweena.blogspot.com/p/get-crafty-with-teacher-weena.html" target="_blank">Get Crafty With Teacher Weena</a> or you may search for more in Pinterest and the web. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://teacherweena.blogspot.com/p/get-crafty-with-teacher-weena.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1260" data-original-width="2240" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRaj7HCDBY_jYUrq8YR1Lywq7B2KT-pbA8yCWjJICXDyf-E1w0SVB_clykIFCBLvJ_RhqjamiWNzSN1IpIJM27xZuUsJ_tU2iPgQCB1iQMQqMsPEpXfUr6yBef2RNkQvvb8Yo2NSLm1t6x0ndMuB1exZLAuJju4alr1OIgYgj3axQiCatEIUGGWZC-JQ/s320/F711561E-802B-48DC-A2E0-DDCA65DC1565.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>Coloring Pages and Other Activities</b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">I also have coloring pages for Noah's Ark at my <a href="https://teacherweena.blogspot.com/p/free-printables.html" target="_blank">Free Printables Page</a></span></div><div><br /></div><div><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I hope this helps you and your family in your homeschool journey.

But since your children are not yet in their formal homeschooling ages yet (<a href="https://simplycharlottemason.com/blog/thoughts-early-education/#:~:text=Charlotte%20Mason%20was%20a%20strong,old%20to%20begin%20formal%20lessons." target="_blank">see Charlotte Mason's take on this</a>), it is best to take it slow and enjoy these quiet years. If you have more than 1 child, this lesson can be done all throughout the week or weeks with all your younger children including the baby.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><b>Read-A-Louds</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;">Start by reading the Story of Creation. If you have a good Children's Bible with you, you may snuggle on the couch and read with your little one(s). Here are some suggestions for a good <a href="https://www.catholicicing.com/best-catholic-childrens-bibles/" target="_blank">Children's Bible from Catholic Icing</a>. Our family used The Jesus Storybook Bible when our son was in the early years of homeschooling.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;">After reading, you may or may not jump right in on an arts and crafts activity. Most young children love to sing and dance, and its a fun way to get those wiggles out after sitting down to listen to a story. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;">Here's where you can find read-a-louds to watch:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://youtu.be/wGV-qYGufGk" target="_blank">The Jesus Storybook Bible - In The Beginning: A Perfect Home</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://youtu.be/rrYInC35OOk" target="_blank">God's Very Colorful Creation: Read by Tim Thornborough</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;">And if you are a Formed.org subscriber, here's a video you can watch (ages 4 and up).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://watch.formed.org/the-animated-bible-series-the-creation/videos/the-animated-bible-series-the-creation" target="_blank">The Animated Bible Series 1: The Creation</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><b>Music and Movement</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;">As much as possible, I personally try not to use YouTube videos so the children can be more creative in doing the actions of the song. This also helps you, have or keep that connection with your child. Hold hands while jumping or look into each others eyes and imitate each other. Copying the movements of your child when singing and dancing helps build confidence. It makes them feel valued and important.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;">This is a playlist I put together for my online Catechism classes. You may use other songs and videos to do music and movement with your children. And, do it as often as you can.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0iJUMnt89MLnY3NcVYnWPR?si=22e78bbc5d6d42f4" target="_blank">God Made The World And Me - Spotify</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://youtu.be/3-9_lOeaGhs" target="_blank">Early Childhood Worship - The Creation Story - YouTube</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;"><b>Nature Walks</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Quicksand; font-size: medium;">What better way to experience God's love than to be with His creation. Take your child for a nature walks at least once a week. Since there is no formal education yet in the early years, allow them to just explore and enjoy what they see, hear, feel, smell or even taste!

I do not use the words minus and equals yet. This can also be used to learn a few <a href="https://sightwords.com/sight-words/dolch/#lists" target="_blank">Dolch Pre-K and Kindergarten</a> sight words. You can write down 2-4 words from the poem such as one, two, little and then add a new word. Show the words one at a time and say it with your child a couple of times. I like to put up poems and songs on the wall for my son to see. Nowadays, its usually on the wall near his place on the dining table. This encourages him to look at the words and try to decode it with the reading level he is on. Children who are read to everyday have wider vocabularies and will be able to use those to decode words.</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDIOKMlRN-6FGAms5KvDyHTbVq4mnl-4GMbi1yjnyjYoFkxvtIFDFX1kxEXm-aELBo2i7Gv9PB1XcL8yztK3cZGlelmSzWIAqBgmg1tSif34rKEC4SX0xJOuc4ptLs2m2Q8kzc6wHpgEhH/s2000/ALL+ABOUT+%25282%2529.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1414" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDIOKMlRN-6FGAms5KvDyHTbVq4mnl-4GMbi1yjnyjYoFkxvtIFDFX1kxEXm-aELBo2i7Gv9PB1XcL8yztK3cZGlelmSzWIAqBgmg1tSif34rKEC4SX0xJOuc4ptLs2m2Q8kzc6wHpgEhH/s320/ALL+ABOUT+%25282%2529.png" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTyjtqAgFoXo_7Q-rxdzVWw2M7G5I8phRmzHho86e1i9rNTvRWCzoUmUUBmHF36d9bNP3arEqMzbS7aOaoGKovzT3JMHfo61moW_eDgLmK9IESJiA83JpgVuE_wwrLdS4tk1h7BTMXC4iV/s2000/ALL+ABOUT+%25284%2529.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1414" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTyjtqAgFoXo_7Q-rxdzVWw2M7G5I8phRmzHho86e1i9rNTvRWCzoUmUUBmHF36d9bNP3arEqMzbS7aOaoGKovzT3JMHfo61moW_eDgLmK9IESJiA83JpgVuE_wwrLdS4tk1h7BTMXC4iV/s320/ALL+ABOUT+%25284%2529.png" /></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">We do syllabication and rhyming games in class too.

My usual answer is, lets find out - later (or now) This as you might have guessed is already an extended activity. </span><p></p><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">You may want to look for more books about ducks. Talk about some of the ideas there and ask more questions! I would like to encourage you to make extension activities as open ended as possible. It ay be block play, water play, pretend play or small world play. For arts and crafts, you may want to leave a box with assorted materials out so your little on can explore. Of course you can put out yellow paper and feathers, and let your child figure out how he/she can make a duck. or blue paper, grass cuttings, plastic toy ducks to create a pond for small world play. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">I will add more ideas to this lesson.

I made a weekly <a href="https://everythingisgodsgift.blogspot.com/2017/02/lent-activities-for-toddlers.html" target="_blank">Lenten activity plan </a> We would read the Sunday Gospel before mass and do a couple of activities during the week. He loved counting and putting things in containers that time and we not only did the activity one but twice. one with glue on a paper plate and one without glue using a paper bag. He peeled the glued loaves and fish off the paper plate so I thought of using a brown paper bag. He enjoyed putting the loaves and fish in the bag and taking them out again. Then saying "Heeew Jeeeshooo!"</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">We have done 2 versions of this Gospel story on our Bible Journals. The latest 'reading' was done by our son, now 6yo and can read fluently already. After he read, he automatically narrated back and drew on his journal. We still do narration/dictation.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">For my online Catechism lesson, I let the children listen to the read aloud on my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChIJQvS9bJ57wCe_mV7hWaw" target="_blank">YouTube channel.</a> Afterwards, we talked about the story We then had a music and movement break and danced to <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/46Bx96n9yPzyhpmljJlkC0?si=1b84ef15e0f64d26" target="_blank">Jesus Feeds 5000 by Two by 2</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">After reading, we made our 5 loaves and 2 fish craft. You can find the <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/13qKXFCGDuixyQcJhIIDeRqcPv1QjhNhC/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">template here</a> A few children have already colored some of the loaves and fish so they began to cut. It was a challenge for me to really observe and assess the children on their cutting skills because they were on screen. I am truly grateful for the parents and guardians, and gandmas too! who dedicate their time to help facilitate the lesson. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDMYdms30QsOR4vJl6JFgTPlGToBT5TBLNhyl3gBKkHlSlQ0wZ5YXwVVUyLYsLdWvRpkVBOasmRhBQPAwdwFZ5x2ySC8NftUXL2_yH2iYBHue2YRgirwySaVPj6WWhRncPkQSq3RWvJYf-/s1600/WhatsApp+Image+2021-03-19+at+4.57.36+PM.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="777" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDMYdms30QsOR4vJl6JFgTPlGToBT5TBLNhyl3gBKkHlSlQ0wZ5YXwVVUyLYsLdWvRpkVBOasmRhBQPAwdwFZ5x2ySC8NftUXL2_yH2iYBHue2YRgirwySaVPj6WWhRncPkQSq3RWvJYf-/s320/WhatsApp+Image+2021-03-19+at+4.57.36+PM.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsRTJ6WX4aMJKmAZbVg8G1Fb8VNtoHsS1MSskgh9AWuWSSBR4i7ZQchs1HTinCppcI21ddgvflL06sZLGwfYSCTKLEFOMlN0GgBVzGpmKByXxjjdAvXgDDBnDTvK1Bb-4X5QA_3J2GU3Eq/s1600/WhatsApp+Image+2021-03-19+at+5.01.52+PM.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="900" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsRTJ6WX4aMJKmAZbVg8G1Fb8VNtoHsS1MSskgh9AWuWSSBR4i7ZQchs1HTinCppcI21ddgvflL06sZLGwfYSCTKLEFOMlN0GgBVzGpmKByXxjjdAvXgDDBnDTvK1Bb-4X5QA_3J2GU3Eq/s320/WhatsApp+Image+2021-03-19+at+5.01.52+PM.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">After every story and activity in Catechism class, just like what my son and I do in our homeschool Religious Ed. lessons, we talk about Jesus' message and how we can apply the Good News to our lives. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsyswQzYASU7lvI23fELgNC8yaAMS4hd1Hx048Hw6i3WrwAgYPJReTApX2MRuchKpL1z2h-0LeV5QeFg8C0hUitYz7cYmGbxlhvJg985QWyiGRHOG5NsR7KwCjjdnyccSLL_y85UPoDetT/s1920/9.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsyswQzYASU7lvI23fELgNC8yaAMS4hd1Hx048Hw6i3WrwAgYPJReTApX2MRuchKpL1z2h-0LeV5QeFg8C0hUitYz7cYmGbxlhvJg985QWyiGRHOG5NsR7KwCjjdnyccSLL_y85UPoDetT/s1920/9.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC5mnzgPqdzES6SzvEBuTjk-vPctoGY03edWvM_v0CkKrUcQCmQRJLK7Iwa0TYRgHGQ7W4IVzw7MzFTaa2jGpOVpjAtgGNjkDQ-ZBTfG1SW5nq6aV1qTv1WnPJkCN0fRck-8mSVgdnwIzP/s1920/8.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC5mnzgPqdzES6SzvEBuTjk-vPctoGY03edWvM_v0CkKrUcQCmQRJLK7Iwa0TYRgHGQ7W4IVzw7MzFTaa2jGpOVpjAtgGNjkDQ-ZBTfG1SW5nq6aV1qTv1WnPJkCN0fRck-8mSVgdnwIzP/s320/8.png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsyswQzYASU7lvI23fELgNC8yaAMS4hd1Hx048Hw6i3WrwAgYPJReTApX2MRuchKpL1z2h-0LeV5QeFg8C0hUitYz7cYmGbxlhvJg985QWyiGRHOG5NsR7KwCjjdnyccSLL_y85UPoDetT/s320/9.png" width="320" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Before we end our class, I always tell the children that Jesus loves them.

Have your child glue the pieces of paper onto the Elmer template.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK2feLfkOCg0bP3Hgap7gdnHPgJyiG_LSRTuB3BJEKJ0dC3n02Mbb32QXMXTLfCvrEt3Oz7idDBv2MpE9ytKgo_T7KopYEg17-T0zs5tBUvk5W1Zt4lck8Ce7l__luTnzCDwkzSG3usNtJ/s2048/File_004.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK2feLfkOCg0bP3Hgap7gdnHPgJyiG_LSRTuB3BJEKJ0dC3n02Mbb32QXMXTLfCvrEt3Oz7idDBv2MpE9ytKgo_T7KopYEg17-T0zs5tBUvk5W1Zt4lck8Ce7l__luTnzCDwkzSG3usNtJ/s320/File_004.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfFa1keQZA6T7-8xo_nGKjWGDHoL11rS42mwxqZ1dJ9llaSvonjgrlx9ENcRgVIWS_5TBItVueIi_p5KGR-NtH2N9XdnV0TNMoD-7hK1zXJF82gMS0dTnEt0N2ta9lFU2LMfJLpW4gtAIe/s2048/File_005.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfFa1keQZA6T7-8xo_nGKjWGDHoL11rS42mwxqZ1dJ9llaSvonjgrlx9ENcRgVIWS_5TBItVueIi_p5KGR-NtH2N9XdnV0TNMoD-7hK1zXJF82gMS0dTnEt0N2ta9lFU2LMfJLpW4gtAIe/s320/File_005.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">If you have older children, they can use the blank elephant template to decorate one of the elephants in Elmer's herd for the parade on Elmer's day.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSTxKpjZxo-teXqPcwRvwvaoKtjr1_YesSjVmV2_66rAHnuO3PgR_jNCSZIKfbNvjMwu5XfajqJMqFeVH2nQc19H7Z3w8q7rcpXwvooYFVsF9AfuTdEruNi9L9weVp5gtyTBZJ23mGJ35X/s2048/File_006.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSTxKpjZxo-teXqPcwRvwvaoKtjr1_YesSjVmV2_66rAHnuO3PgR_jNCSZIKfbNvjMwu5XfajqJMqFeVH2nQc19H7Z3w8q7rcpXwvooYFVsF9AfuTdEruNi9L9weVp5gtyTBZJ23mGJ35X/s320/File_006.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>MUSIC & MOVEMENT</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">You may find music to sing and dance to on my Spotify playlist <a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/48zlrKRV7pfFAWpizNmgsd?si=5c60c0c6c2a04f62" target="_blank">All About Elephants</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Movement Suggestions:</span></p><p><span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"> - Use one arm as a trunk</span></span><br /></p><p><span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span> - Walk like an elephant</span><br /></span></span></p><p><span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span><span> - Tiptoe like an elephant</span><br /></span></span></span></p><p><span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span><span><br /></span></span></span></span></p><p><span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span><span><b>POETRY</b></span></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Read a poem about elephants.

I also included a tunic template with which the children can also paste colored paper onto it.

And not because the husband and I want to teach our son certain life skills, we are both into that too; but because creating a daily routine - I prefer to call it rhythm of the home, saves us a lot of time and effort.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">We started doing routine cards last year when Teo was turned 5. Noli and I figured that since he was really trying to do things on his own, we would give it a little structure and boundaries - for the Nanay - so I won't hover too much!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Before we made the routine cards, we asked Teo is if he was willing to follow. Of course we explained (in detail) the consequences and benefits of following and not following the routines. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">A year or so after the Routine cards were implemented, I can truly say our days were mostly smooth and easy. Teo has learned new habits along the way. And what I mean by learned is that he also developed some unpleasant habits along the way. Thus our revision and refining of some of the routines. Like When using the toilet, I had to add, and both agreed to be care</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">ful not to sprinkle wee outside the toilet bowl. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjJgsH8FQuaKp9nt5abmNHYqgEpIngSlRlpQ3QwYeSPG8c9iTzp7pVid5buxmbOIekB1iJT_KJGpQ1qs-yaBT_kwHL6GpKq_QXgvMIC3tds4eq2KYQVDhzSfPuvit0OU1tSXIZYCGEEnKS/s2048/20200923_194500.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjJgsH8FQuaKp9nt5abmNHYqgEpIngSlRlpQ3QwYeSPG8c9iTzp7pVid5buxmbOIekB1iJT_KJGpQ1qs-yaBT_kwHL6GpKq_QXgvMIC3tds4eq2KYQVDhzSfPuvit0OU1tSXIZYCGEEnKS/s320/20200923_194500.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">But it seems that the revisions have been unheeded. So I have been reflecting lately, and have been praying for wisdom on how to go about improving this strategy. I figured that it now looks so juvenile for my 6 year old and he may be 'slacking off' because there is not enough weight for these tasks to become a responsibility. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">So I now have made it like a checklist. There is a neat DIY 'chore chart' that you can make yourself on the DLTK website (Link below). I made these routines into a checklist type of chart and will give Teo the responsibility of making sure he accomplishes his tasks and does it well.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">So if you have very young children, you can download the editable Routine Card template here and adjust the tasks and routines according to the rhythm of your day. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.dltk-kids.com/cards/chart/" target="_blank">DIY Chore </a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Update: I made another printable so you can move around the routines to fit your family's schedule.

<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">When my son was just 2, I started reading all about Charlotte Mason's Method. I became interested when I learned that <i>Nature Walks, Nature Study and Nature Journaling</i> was part of this method of homeschooling. When we brought home Teo from the orphanage, my husband and I noticed that he loved nature and the outdoors. We spent a lot of time at the common garden at the back of our rented house in Laguna.</span><br />

<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Charlotte Mason emphasized that during the early years, parents should focus on the formation of habits, outdoors and good books. And that is what our family did. </span><br />
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">So in order for me to keep track, I used the Reference List of Habits I found on the internet when I was looking for resources on the CM habits. I could not find the link anymore but I made posters so I can take a quick look or plan what habit to practice with Teo in the coming weeks or months. And of course I am sharing them with you. So whether you are new to the CM method or not, new to homeschooling or not; you may also have these posters on your 'homeschool room' wall.</span><br />

<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Last September, at the beginning of the school year, Teo (and I) started reciting Charlotte Mason's Motto. Since Teo was not reading yet, I recited and he repeated. I started with the 'I am' on the first week and at the end of that week, he has memorized it. I was surprised that he had it memorized so quickly. I did not plan on making him memorize and was happy to recite it with him.</span></div>

After several month, we still do the same routine and because he has started to read CVC and a little sight words, he tells me he can 'recognize' the words on the poster and can 'guess' the words. I tell him that he knows how to read now, but I'm not sure he believes me.</span></div>

The Process:<br />
Play a <a href="http://theinspiredtreehouse.com/activities-for-kids-hand-clapping-games/">hand clapping game</a> to begin or sing 'If You're Happy And You Know It (Clap Your Hands)' if you can't think of any. 'Pat-A-Cake' is also a wonderful game for your preschooler. Teo and I sang <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4WNrvVjiTw">'If You're Happy And You Know It'</a> by Super Simple Songs.<br />

Talk about what hands can do. Let your child demonstrate what he can do like clapping and shaking or picking up things. You can also try describing how hands do things; gently, carefully or slowly. And what they can do; helping, comforting and encouraging (thumbs up sign!)<br />
<br />
While tracing Teo's hands, I told him how his hands helped <i>Tatay</i> (Dad) sweep the front yard. <i>'Helpful hands!' </i>And that he is now able to use his spoon and fork while eating. I told him that he amazes me because he can do so many things now.<br />

Teos hands were a bit wiggly. I guess he felt ticklish and he would move his fingers about. You could hold your child's hand firmly, but gently so his fingers won't wiggle.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After cutting, I invited him back to the activity. This time, to glue the hand on a piece of colored paper. You may choose any color. We recalled the things we talked about earlier. Teo does not like to be quizzed, like some children I have worked with before. So I just said "Teo's hand can help." And he named all the other things we talked about.</div>

After, I wrote his name on top of the page with a marker. This is one way to show your child the letters of his name; and model writing as well. I will soon post about <i>learning the letters of my name. </i>I also wrote 'My hands.' at the bottom part. </div>

Its best to cut the shapes (parts of the face) before inviting your child to do the activity. Watch this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIZs7pFawmY">video tutorial</a> on how to easily cut these shapes without a template.<br />
<br />
Materials: mirror, large brown paper bag, black, red and beige construction paper, glue stick and scissors<br />
<br />
The Process:<br />
Invite your child to look into a small mirror. Ask him to point out the parts of his face. You may ask "Where is your nose?" or if he can already say the names of each part, ask, "What are these?" (eyes). Point out where the parts are located also. "Your mouth is above your chin." And if you both know a song about the parts of the face, sing too! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZanHgPprl-0">We sing 'Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes</a>' by Super Simple Songs because there's a part for parts of the face too.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio7mbPQnf45_8Y8_gcoCBUDm_6YLEVGfQk8Vj5HbXp0ENFVCnZKQRt2vrS4aZKALeM03U34O4fzSGKeKVV1j39RcslSy1TUHqVHhbJOIwTroN61l3gpRSul8eFJWFmakpceyAMoS_2oRnI/s1600/Teacher+Tip1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio7mbPQnf45_8Y8_gcoCBUDm_6YLEVGfQk8Vj5HbXp0ENFVCnZKQRt2vrS4aZKALeM03U34O4fzSGKeKVV1j39RcslSy1TUHqVHhbJOIwTroN61l3gpRSul8eFJWFmakpceyAMoS_2oRnI/s320/Teacher+Tip1.png" width="213" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then present the materials to your child. Tell him that you will be making a face. Start by showing the circle. You may say; "This will be the face, let's put the parts!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Allow your child to pick from the container and guess where it goes. You may opt to ask you child to arrange the parts first before you proceed to paste the shapes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

Oh do remember that it doesn't matter if the ears, nose and eyes are a little lopsided. We were just lucky that Teo was able to put the parts well. We actually practiced arranging them correctly first before pasting.</div>

Point to the different parts of the face, or ask your child to name them - if they're still up to it. Teo just ran away from the table after, haha! He helped clean up after though.</div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hello Moms (and Dads) of toddlers and Preschoolers!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Please join us and our tot as we Home school Preschool<i>.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you're seriously considering homeschooling your child, like me; this may be a good way to test the waters. There are lots of classes out there for parents who wish to learn more about homeschooling. I will share some of them as we go on. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This January, we will be talking about the parts of the body and what they can do, daily routines, feelings and the things that we like.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The tot and I had many battles lately, because of his growing independence. So we will focus more on daily routines and all the things he can independently do already. My goal is to lessen the battles, encourage independence and </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">While you may have your Preschooler's cooperation already, they still might get upset sometimes because of frustration from not being able to accomplish some tasks. Reminding them of what they can already do and talking about how they feel after completing a task and working hard on it would definitely make life easier for your preschooler.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'd like to share with you first, my <i>lesson plan</i>. Its more of a chart and sort of a web. I decided to leave lots of spaces on the layout because I prefer using a pen to write. I'll be using the green squares to write in new ideas or concepts or questions that might arise during our 'discoveries'. The red rectangles are for language and literacy activities. While the yellow rectangles are for STEM activities.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lately, I have been battling with myself. I am at the threshold of stepping into a very, very busy life. Not that I am in a not so busy life right now. But I would like to give my life full time to God. So in between the lesson planning, learning new songs, preparing materials, cooking, cleaning, laundry, households, GA's, fellowships and everything else in my life - I took a step back and viewed it from another person's point of view. And the battle has not yet been won over. So I will now attempt to convince my other self (the one who saw my life in another person's point of view) and pray that God will back me up on this one.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am a teacher. I inspire young minds. I affirm, I love, I encourage, I lift up. I wipe tears, snot and all other stuff that comes out of kids. I give hugs, kisses, back rubs and pats. I sing, dance, play, and every other thing a child does. I am second mommy and daddy, nanny, playmate. And at the same time, I also observe, assess and plan.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am a teacher. And this is how I serve God. I will not be distracted. I practice patience and self-control. I use my words to uplift and encourage. With this, I pray that I am glorifying Him. I am exposed to sickness all the time. I put my own needs last when I am in the classroom (like going to the bathroom). I am constantly denying myself. I pray that this purifies and sanctifies me and that the Lord watch over my health.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am a teacher. And I do this because I believe that children are a gift from God. They are our future. This is my calling. This is what God wants me to do. My constant prayer is that He guide me and lead me to where I would be able to glorify and serve Him to the fullest of my ability.</span><br />

So I have not been blogging lately.</div>

I check my stats once in a while and a few months ago I noticed I get a lot of pageviews.</div>

I brought an umbrella to class during our 4 Season Theme. The kids loved it! We pretended to go out in a drizzle, then rain, then heavy rain and finally a storm. We imagined being dragged up, up, up in the air! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Everyone wanted a turn to hold the umbrella. And when it was time to keep it, the kids begged to play with it more. </div>

<div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0976563); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(191, 107, 82, 0.496094); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">If you give a teacher a margarita, she'll want some nachos and guacamole with it. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0976563); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(191, 107, 82, 0.496094); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When she's finished with the nachos and guacamole, she'll be reminded of Mexico so she'll want to dance the salsa. Dancing the salsa will make her remember her dance classes when she was a kid which will make her homesick and want to call home. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0976563); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(191, 107, 82, 0.496094); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So she'll look for her mobile phone and call home. She will become a bit teary eyed and would want to blow her nose. Blowing her nose would remind her that she needs to replenish the box of tissues in her classroom. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0976563); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(191, 107, 82, 0.496094); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So she'll head to the nearest drug store to buy a few boxes. When she's in the drug store she'll want to take a basket in case she finds some more things she might need in her classroom. She'll probably find some cute Disney band aids to give her kids even when they don't have a boo-boo and some tongue depressors for crafts. Before she knows it, she'll have a basket full of stuff. She'll look at her basket feeling satisfied with everything she was able to buy, and decide to grab a good snack. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0976563); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(191, 107, 82, 0.496094); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So she walks to Starbucks to order her favorite Chai Tea Latte and strawberry cheese cake. Drinking her tea made her want to finish reading her latest book about tea parties and vanilla ice cream. So she'll take her ipad from her bag and start reading. After reading a few chapters, she'll want to call her husband. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">While scrolling down the names on her phone, she'll see the names of her teacher friends and start texting them one by one. Then she'll decide to have a party (since its a Friday). And whenever there's a party, chances are....</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">They will all want a margarita!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Happy World Teachers' Day!</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I just want to share my conviction about loving children unconditionally....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This may be the answer to my colleagues' questions...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Who do the children love you so much?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The answer is simple.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Because....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love children. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Because its fun to be among them and their antics amuse me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But, I also 'love' them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love them when they're crying, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love them when they don't cooperate, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love them when they hit or bite their friends. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love them when they scream and whine or run around aimlessly. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love them unconditionally.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Not because they made their artwork neat and pretty.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Not because they just sit at look at me all day. And, not because they give me gifts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love them unconditionally.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just because they are.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">No matter what.....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And I tell them I love them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I show them I love them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unconditionally.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They know.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Children know if you truly love them or not.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They just know.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We sing this song at Circle Time</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And the children love it. We made our own actions.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I make sure I sing it sincerely with them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Maybe its the years of praying and reflection on how to do this task</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(of loving children),</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">God has put upon my shoulders.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I honestly pray to God to give me the grace to love the children he entrusts to me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That I may love them the way He loves me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unconditionally.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Or at least I'm trying to.</span></div>
