Reading, Writing
Faith composed a story today called "The Princesses". She dictated it to me while I typed it on the computer. This was her first time "writing" a story and she did very well with little prompting from me. I pretty much just wrote what she spoke. She has plans to write several more stories and make a book out of them.

Alphabetizing: Faith finished placing letters on her wall in the correct order to complete the alphabet display. Then we practiced thinking about objects in alphabetical order. I chose four objects from her toy box and asked her to name them, tell me what letter they started with, and then place them in a line on the floor in alphabetical order. We did this several times and she improved with each one.

Free coloring time. Faith has been working on filling in the whole space with color rather than just scribbling on a part of it.

Faith read The Disappearing Magician by Dickson.
Science
Watched a short timelapse video on Antarctica in one year. We saw what the landscaped looked like in different "seasons" and saw how scientists lived and contructed buildings there.
Faith became interested in seeing more time lapse videos. We watched several about decay (an apple, a watermelon, etc.), one of a woman who took her photo every day for 3 years, someone's yard through the seasons of one year, and ants eating a piece of ham on a sidewalk from start to finish.

Then cut out prints of different kinds of animals that we learned about today. Faith colored some of the animals and then discussed where they lived and glued them to the paper in the corresponding region.
