Kindergarten with Krash ... Skylanders

RRSK: Letter Mm {I have NO photos of it!}

Theme: Skylanders

We used assessment and review materials from You Can Read. He has completed all 18 of the base units! We are taking a break fro You Can Read as a whole, but may bring in the color and number word units soon. We will be focusing on lots of review at this point in the school year, and playing tons of word games.

Here he was reading words,

he was thrilled that he knew more words this time around!

He did the 10 minute writing word assessment also and was thrilled with how many words he could write!

This is the Teacher’s Prompt sheet. All of these assessment materials and more are a part of the You Can Read Bundle!

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.

I plan to up our All About Reading work now that our You Can Read work is complete. We didn’t do any All About Reading work during Skylanders time, as he was VERY into Skylanders and I worked in his reading practice through the theme!

Our Skylanders school theme lasted for 2 weeks, he absolutely LOVED it!

Matching names, using our mini pocket chart, and his Skylanders…

Dot painting fractions…

I made him Skylander paper for his Morning Messages, he LOVED this! {I just copied clipart onto plain lined paper using Publisher.}

Matching rhyming words…

Matching descriptive sentences…

Seriously, does it get any better than this? He was working on cutting out the SKylanders to sort them…

Taping names in the correct boxes…

He used our Rainbow Blocks a LOT to make different forts for his Skylanders, this was just one of them!

One day I looked over and saw the Skylanders using my slippers as transportation devices…

Here he was copying his Bible verse in his Calendar Notebook on the left, and on the right he was working on a drawing from our Draw, Write, Now book…

He loves the We Choose Virtues characters. He always asks to look at the cards!

We finished up learning a lot about Brazil & South America through Little Passports. This sheet is from Montessori Print Shop, we used it to identify South American animals together!
