Kindergarten w/Krash ~ RRSK/Kk, YCR/Unit 17, Angry Birds

K-with-Krash2_thumb1122222222222


You Can Read: Unit 17 {too, they, must, on}

RRSK: Letter Kk

Theme: Angry Birds


Something New…

Krash has become a tad bit bitter about his Workboxes, so I decided to switch things up for him.  We have switched to a notebook type system and so far he loves it!  He has 3 notebooks,  the 3 notebooks are:

  1. Current Theme {Angry Birds right now}
  2. You Can Read/RRSK {there is a divider in the middle, but I decided to share these 2 programs}
  3. Morning Message

Here he was working during his independent time, coloring his sight words.  I gave him choices as he browsed through his 2 notebooks filled with his weekly work.  I directed him to things that could be done independently and had him choose.IMG_0271

In the You Can Read section, I created a little photo collage of all of the Word Play options he can choose from.  He loved this, and this is where he saw the ping pong balls in the cups idea and chose it {details below}IMG_0251

This is his new Morning Message notebook.  I write him a daily message and we read it together and use it to focus on different skills.  Here he was using a highlighter to find all of the words he could read on his own!IMG_0249

It is a simple lined page I created in Publisher.  I added images to pages featuring many of his favorite characters!


RRRSK-header-copy2222222

You can download all of the printables for this unit FREE here on the main RRSK page, just scroll down until you see them!  We have backed off from doing all 10 of the provided activities in the RRSK units.  As he progresses, some items aren’t necessary anymore and either we skip them or go through them quickly.  My main goal in using the RRSK lessons is the Bible work and simple review of other K skills.

He always traces his verse on Day 1…IMG_0066

Putting his verse together on day 2, you can see him practicing the song!IMG_0135

 

Here is Krash singing letter K for you, the tune is “She’ll Be Coming Around the Mountain.”  The printable written out the way you sing it is here!

We used unit 17 from You Can Read.  Here’s a glimpse into some of the You Can Read work he did.

Word-Play-rectangle41222222222 

We saw a new word play game and Krash chose it from the sheet I printed in his notebook.  First Pac quizzed him on his sight words, we make stacks of words he reads quickly and words he doesn’t know as well. IMG_0256

I wrote all of the trouble words on little sticky notes and attached them to plastic cups.  He set up the Angry Birds all around the area.IMG_0258

First, he launched the Angry Birds into the cups, but this was hard.  IMG_0262

I convinced him to switch to ping pong ball rolling.  IMG_0266

He had to read the word on the cup when the ball landed in it.  If he was correct he kept it.  He also had to re-read all of the words he had already collected!

We began reviewing All About Reading Level 1 awhile ago, and Krash continues to make consistent progress.  You can read more about why we are choosing to review this homeschool reading program here in our “Current Curriculum” post {see FAQ}.

I wrote a lot about our initial thoughts and experiences with AAR in this Kindergarten with Krash post.

We are still moving along in AAR, here he was working with me, and the cat.  On the bottom right you can see how I help focus him while he reads from his fluency practice paper.

We are starting back up with fun themes, Krash chose Angry Birds first!  We began by gathering every Angry Bird item we had.  Thankfully they got tons for Christmas from the grandparents so we had a wonderful assortment to play with!  We made an Angry Birds Sensory/Imagination Bin, which included all of our toys…IMG_0482

Krash had fun exploring, one day I saw him line up the pigs by size…IMG_0186

He and Ladybug played with the Knock on Wood game pieces a lot…IMG_0190

Of course this had to happen…IMG_0315

 

He loved his Angry Birds notebook, which was filled with all of his Angry Birds Kindergarten Printables.  He chose what he wanted to do each day.  The very first day, he colored a coloring page  I found online and sipped it into the cover.

Dot painting fractions…IMG_0286

We used the Angry Birds we created with our number line.  The bigger ones would cover up groups of 2-3 numbers and he loved the challenge!IMG_0303

Using game pieces to find words that rhyme with pig…IMG_0309

Dot painting sight words he can read…IMG_0289

We found the Angry Birds Math worksheet here.  He loved this…

He enjoyed the Busy Hands Play Dough box combined with our winter sensory bin…IMG_0076

iPad learning fun. He graduated from Teach Me Kindergarten to Teach Me First Grade!  He was SO excited to buy 1st grade!  I LOVE the new level, for .99 this app is amazing!Teach Me 1st Grade App

I get asked a lot about our new case-it’s the Trident Kraken II and yes we love it! Educational iPad Apps here, also, iPad Apps-part 2!  The stylus he is using is this one.


Krash was my Instagram star of the week!  As I looked back through our photos I noticed that there were tons of my little guy!  A few of these moments were not captured with the good camera for the blog, so I thought I would share them too since most of you aren’t on Instagram with me!

Watching his new favorite show, Octonauts…

The gymnastics season comes to an end and he’s t The gymnastics season comes to an end and he’s taking home the 🥈 silver medal on pommel horse again! 

It’s been a fun week of competition and time with friends. Thankful for this time together in Arizona and excited for the new season already!

He is 16!!!!! 🎉🥳🎉 We are busy with so m He is 16!!!!! 🎉🥳🎉 

We are busy with so much right now, most importantly final prep to leave for nationals in Arizona tomorrow! This past weekend he was presented with an award from his coach(with him in this pic) - Athlete of the Year, which is really special. He heads to nationals tomorrow in good shape, feeling confident! 

@kyler_hinson I am so proud of you for so many reasons! Seeing you fight so hard through continual pain the past few years has shown such a strength of character, determination, dedication, and perseverance. I love the man you are becoming and am so thankful to be your mom. 

We have a fun week ahead of us and I’m so excited to be by your side. ❤️
He’s 20 today. Lives on his own, with an AMAZING He’s 20 today. Lives on his own, with an AMAZING job, managing adult-ing beautifully, constantly making me smile when I think of his perseverance, determination, commitment, and ambition. I can’t put into words how proud I am of this man of mine. My son, my baby.

Happy birthday @paxtoroni ❤️ I pray you know how loved you are.
In case you missed their intro in my stories, I’ In case you missed their intro in my stories, I’d like you to meet the new fluffy trio! Named by my daughter and her friend after characters in the show Gravity Falls. 

Mabel (calico, girl)
Dipper (white/gray, boy)
Soos (tabby, boy)

They are so adorable and came at the perfect time to bring healing after we lost Bruno. ❤️

My guess is about 5-6 weeks old, and they will probably be in foster for about a month, the smallest weighing 1 pound, 3 ounces. 

The look like little dust bunnies flopping around the room, they are so round and fluffy!

Our youngest child is 13. I’m not sure how that Our youngest child is 13. I’m not sure how that happened. We celebrated Lili today with our best friends from Philadelphia here to visit for the weekend! She opened her presents from us, and loved on our new fluffy foster kittens. Her wish was to foster a fluffy set of kittens and that wish came true yesterday!

So thankful for this awesome kid of mine. She is such a blessing to me and inspires me continually. She is strong, compassionate, brave, unique, artistically talented beyond belief, and I just love being her mom.
8 weeks old today!!! We are in the final countdown 8 weeks old today!!! We are in the final countdown of our time together! 

Bruno and Camilo are both snuggle bugs and love to curl up on laps, or up by my chin. They both love to play hard and they still love momma’s milkies (especially Bruno). Camilo is a round plump potato weighing 1 lb, 13 ounces. Bruno is a bit skinnier (1 lb, 9.5 ounces) because he’s been having some tummy issues but he’s doing better. They won’t leave me until both are 2 lbs and 100% healthy. I’m assuming a little over a week from now.

My husband and I went away for the weekend to a cu My husband and I went away for the weekend to a cute little cabin we found on Airbnb and it had SUPER friendly ducks. 🦆 

These ducks brought me so much joy. As I looked back through our photos, the final photo is reflective of me in one of my happy places. I see pure joy on my face and I love the photo. Not because I want my own ducks, but because I truly love animals and being around them makes me smile. This is reflective in my fostering adventure also, it is truly one of my favorite aspects of my life right now.

So thankful for this short time away to do nothing. Well, nothing except hang out with my best friend and some awesome ducks. ❤️
The season has flown by! He is the NC State Champi The season has flown by! He is the NC State Champion on pommel horse! We head to regionals in a few weeks!

He also had a season high on rings (historically a tough event for him) and placed 3rd! That was fun to watch! 

Thankful for grandparents who were able to be there and teammates that have been there since they were babies many years ago. 🥰

I can’t even find proper words to share how much I can’t even find proper words to share how much their 3 week birthday means to me. I am finally relaxed and just enjoying these precious boys, rather than constantly worrying. The changes in the past few days are adorable - walking all around, playing, purring, rolling over for belly rubs, climbing on my lap when I’m near!  I just LOVE them!

Another meet complete! I wasn’t at this one, my Another meet complete! I wasn’t at this one, my wonderful friend (teammate’s mom) took him to Orlando for me since I couldn’t leave the kittens (who are absolutely perfect, praise God!).

He had a solid meet, had fun with his team (who won 1st), and brought home some new medals. 

A few weeks off and then it’s time for the state championship meet! #krashthegymnast
This is Camilo. He sticks his tongue out a LOT. It This is Camilo. He sticks his tongue out a LOT. It is VERY cute. 

Bruno and Camilo are 2.5 weeks old and thriving. We are so thankful for them. I’m still not 100% relaxed from my worry, but a lot better. They are gaining weight, playing, and nursing well. Thankfully they seem very different from their sisters. We are sad the girls aren’t here growing alongside of them but we have healed a lot in the past few days. These two boys and their amazing momma are a huge part of the healing.

My sweet tiny Dolores is gone. She was the one I w My sweet tiny Dolores is gone. She was the one I was most worried about from the very beginning because she was the runt and gained so slowly. She fought hard and was with us for 13 days.
.
I held her in my hands as she slipped away last night around 1 am. Crying tears over her and keeping her warm and held as she left us. I thought I had accepted that we would lose her too. The entire day I just knew. When she was finally gone I just screamed. My husband and son were away at a gymnastics meet, and my daughter spent the night at my moms to get away from the constant worry here. I’m so glad Lili left. I’m glad everyone was gone so I could just scream in the middle of the night. I just never thought this would be what I’m posting about. Let alone three posts in a row. 
.
Whatever took Isabela, Luisa, and Dolores was probably all the same. There’s nothing I could have done. Dolores got every single life saving support throughout her last day and when I went in to tube feed her at 1am, I just knew. Instead of feeding her, I wrapped her in the warm blanket and just held her as she passed. It wasn’t time for trying all of the things to save her, it was time to let her rest. 💕 
.
This photo was taken earlier yesterday when she was still with us.

This girl. I love her. We shared one of the sweete This girl. I love her. We shared one of the sweetest and saddest moments of my fostering journey when her baby Luisa died. I can finally share the story without sobbing as I think about it.
.
I had taken Luisa and Dolores to the vet for fluids, and for the vet to show me how to give fluids at home. Everything seemed fine at the vet, we commented on how much better Luisa seemed. She wasn’t out of the woods by any means, but her nose was slightly clearer and her weight was good. Honestly in that moment I was more worried about Dolores, who is the runt, and wasn’t nursing well. 
.
It was heavy traffic time so my drive home was 45 minutes. I checked on them while driving several times, placing my hands in the carrier to feel them. During the last 15 minutes of my drive, the traffic was heavier and I was in the interstate so I focused on driving. I was at peace the all was well. I didn’t put my hand in the carrier.
.
I came inside and my daughter and mom were in the kitten room awaiting the news, which I said was good. Gosh how I wish I would have checked them in the carrier before this. Hindsight. 😞 I pulled them out and that’s the moment we saw Luisa was gone. I so wish my daughter didn’t have to see that moment, it was awful for her. I was just so angry. I knew Luisa’s passing was possible, even likely, but in the moment I was just so mad because she seemed to be doing better.
.
Lili left the room and Mirabel was pacing around and very agitated. I was holding Luisa in my hands and I bent down so Mirabel could see her. Mirabel immediately began licking her baby and I just sobbed as I held Luisa and watched momma say goodbye. It was a moment I will never forget, one I wish never had to happen.
.
After this, Mirabel was calm and attended to her other babies. She just needed to say goodbye.
.
I am hopeful for the final 3, while also knowing anything can happen. ❤️ I have all of the resources now, I know how to tube feed, I know how to give fluids, and have direct contact with the shelter vet who is amazing and answers my texts within minutes. We are fighting for them together.
.
#encantofosterkittens #fosterkittens4thehinsons
I don’t have many words. It’s taken me hours t I don’t have many words. It’s taken me hours to even come here to type this. We lost Luisa today. We knew it was likely, but still devastating. Especially a day after losing Isabela. I’m focusing on being there for Lili who has taken this one hard because she was with me when we discovered that Luisa had died. It was awful.
.
I may explain more later. I just don’t have the emotional energy to share more right now. Pray for our hearts and our ability to move forward with hope rather than fear with the remaining 3 kittens.
.
This photo was taken when Luisa was still with us. ❤️
.
#fosterkittens4thehinsons #encantofosterkittens
The post I hate to write. Also the post I wasn’t The post I hate to write. Also the post I wasn’t even remotely prepared to share. I was expecting for Luisa to possibly not make it. But when I went in to tube feed Luisa earlier today I found sweet Isabela, the calico, had passed away.
.
I spent about an hour hysterical because of the shock. I was prepared for complications with the birth, prepared for the sick kitten to possibly not make it, prepared for other kittens to possibly get sick. I was not prepared for a kitten that seemed perfectly healthy to die. I knew and now know even more that it happens a lot and it was most likely congenital. She got to live her short life in a warm, safe home and passed away snuggled with her momma. We don’t know why she died only that there was most likely nothing we could have done differently.
.
The last photo we have of her was this one taken yesterday. Lili was snuggling her and we remarked how “calm” she was, now knowing she was probably heading downhill and we never knew. 
.
I know she was loved by so many from afar, she was certainly loved here. I pray the other 4 make it and will do everything possible to care for them. 💕
.
#fosterkittens4thehinsons #encantofosterkittens
In case you’ve missed my stories recently, this In case you’ve missed my stories recently, this is Luisa and she is sick with really bad congestion. It’s been touch and go the past couple of days and I’ve been tube feeding her since she can’t/won’t nurse due to severe congestion. She is slowly regaining strength and I’m cautiously hopeful. I’m so thankful for the help I get from the vet at the shelter I foster for, she came in last night to teach me how to tube feed so we could give this baby the absolute best shot to make it. She was the first born and was the biggest before getting sick, I’m hopeful she will be back to her strong self soon. 
.
The kittens are 9 days old and the other 4 are doing fine. We even saw some eyeballs today (visit stories to see)!

If you’ve missed my stories be sure to go back i If you’ve missed my stories be sure to go back in the “Encanto” highlight to see more of these babies!
.
They are 2 days old, and I was able to figure out their sex today! (although I could be wrong, we have backup names to change to if I am wrong, thankfully the kittens could care less!)
.
Introducing the Encanto kittens…
Luisa - light gray tabby
Isabela - dilute calico
Dolores - white/gray
Bruno - darker gray
Camilo - gray
.
They are all gaining weight and eating well. Momma Mirabel is absolutely perfect!
