Rose Welty: Lego School!

August 18, 2009

Lego School!

Today was our first day of “Lego school”. My youngest wanted to have some school to do while the two older boys were at their school. So today we worked on the sound “k”. We talked about how both C and K make that sound. We made the letters out of Legos. Then we worked on writing them out. We finished up with building something that starts with that sound….CAR. After we built it my son wanted to draw it, above you see my effort.

Fun to be back to school!

see that is something I would have found fun when I was younger, using legos to learn rather then following along in a simple book that I wanted to chuck at the teacher for being a really low reading level book :p

What an awesome idea!!! The drawing is excellent too. Is your son a right-brained visual learner?

The Legos are definitely sleight of hand on my part - he can do Legos for hours, hours on end. He struggles to sit still and listen - at 4 he even draws while he watches TV. I have no idea what sort of learner he is Valerie - he quotes movie lines so he may be an audio learner. I think it just helps him to have many things to think about at one time.

The Smell of Freshly Sharpened Pencils Yes, school begins for us this week. My sons go to a school that is 2 days there with a teacher and 3 days home with me as the teacher. This year I’ll have a Kindergartner and 2nd grader, both are terribly excited. My 4YO is excited because I have promised him “Lego school” on the days where it is just the two of us. It should be an exciting, thrilling, draining experience as only the school year can be. Above is a quick study I did for a new project…that is exactly how I am feeling about the coming...

Cabinet Transformed We’ve had a small cabinet that is a little worse for wear. You can see the red marker stripes on the door, there were blue ballpoint scribbles on the top. We recently moved it to another room, near a piece of darker furniture. So, I jumped on the opportunity…sanded it, stained it a darker color, sealed it and voila… I do have the hardware that fell off the front, next trip to Lowes I’ll get some small nails and attach it.
