Same Sound Sort with Letter “B”

The children joined me in playing a sound sorting game with the letter “B”. We sorted items that either made the B sound or did not. Our objective is to demonstrate phonological awareness. This is the ability to discern the sounds and patterns of spoken language.

The Tower of Babel

Our Bible story this week was The Tower of Babel. We discussed the word pride and how people speak different languages. We also built are own towers and learned that a triangle is the strongest shape. The triangle is common in all sorts of building supports and trusses. The overall shape of many bridges is in the shape of a catenary curve.

Foundation

This was our vocabulary word for the week. We discussed how to build a foundation and why it is important. Using blocks, the children had to build a good foundation first.
