Mijsjes stop!

Doorgaans zijn Boas en Fera niet zo van dat jongens-tegen-meisjes gedoe. Maar als er een jongetje én een meisje op bezoek zijn, is dat natuurlijk wel een mooie kans voor teams met gelijke geslachten. Daar kunnen we vanalles van vinden, maar het komt de taal/schriftontwikkeling in elk geval wel ten goede.

Vertrouwen

Geloof jij dat er in deze appel een ster zit?


Kijk maar!



Deze week hebben we samen gewerkt over geloof en vertrouwen. Leuke bijkomstigheid is dat de naam Fera ook 'geloof' of 'vertrouwen' betekent.





Ook zijn we bezig geweest met tellen en met voorbereidend schrijven. Dat zie je hieronder.

Elephants

We made another lapbook. We still remain in the animal series, but that's very okay for now.

Shopping

Boas wanted to sell some dino's (of course, not for real ;-) ). He wrote some price tags with numbers between 1 and 10. Then he designed some money with numbers 1, 2 or 3 on it. And so we practised math.  And writing of course.

Colouring, drawing and writing

Boas doesn't stop colouring, drawing and writing now. It's interesting to see how he progresses. A few weeks ago it wasn't much more than scratches, and now suddenly there appears a difference between colouring, drawing and writing. Jos quite often challenges the children by just drawing pictures on the whiteboard. And it seems this inspires them so much that they start drawing themselves! Also Fera, who wants to be a big girl.

Did you notice we bought dad a real GARDENA lawn mower? And did you notice who are 'we'? Mama, Boas, Papa, Fera. And of course you noticed the beautiful colouring of a dinosaur, with little flies drawn next to it.

And did I tell you that we are so happy with a dad like Jos? Sometimes his irregular workshifts are a pain, but it is such a blessing that he can be with us throughout the day so much. These kids have a dad that spends time with them, and this mom is so grateful for that!! (And yes, he is a wonderful husband too, but after all 20 June was Father's Day and not our anniversary ;-) )

Intrinsic motivation

No-one told him to do so, but out of the blue Boas started trying to write his own name. And other familiar letters: P from papa, M from mama, F from Fera.

He writes on decorated papers, in my agenda (although I always thought he already wás on my agenda ... ;-) ), on the whiteboard and on the pavement with chalk.
