Hands On Math and Art!

Its been a while since I have been excited enough about a “mommy school lesson” to blog about it. I am preparing to homeschool my oldest next year and am enjoying dabbling in a few curriculum recommendations when I get the chance.  Todays post is about TLC ART. This is a program that one of my dear kindergarten teacher friends does in her kindergarten class weekly.  I decided to do one of the online sample lessons with my crew! Take a peek.
Materials given to each child.

Children do not know what they are making but must listen and follow directions. 
For example:
“Find your black rectangle. Glue it horizontally to the bottom of your paper”

“Place your blue rectangle horizontally on the left side of your paper.”

“Place your red square on top of your red rectangle”

Other Math Vocabulary/directions used in this lesson were:
“fold the rectangle in half”
“cut a circle”
Wa….lah! Our final product
Zachariah…Kindergarten age 5. 11 months

Levi…Pre K4…age 5. 3 months

Ava..PK3…Age 4.1 month

I did have to guide my kids and teach them what these vocabulary words meant during this lesson.
I LOVE this….and didn’t waste any time ordering 3 more units….stay tuned for ABCS, Space, and Stages of a Butterfly
