September 2007
26-09-2007 (Wednesday): Read "pip and squeak"; coloured a piano; practised writing "ta"; learnt to write "1" and recognise it; practised writing on lined paper; made a paper caterpillar from "50 Rainy Day Activities"; read "The very hungry caterpillar" by Eric Carle.
28-09-2007 (Thursday): Read sinhala book about a caterpillar and his mother butterfly "Dalambu Pancha". Did the caterpillar coloring page; The number caterpillar. Began learning the number "2". Proving difficult because Denali always draws her circles counterclockwise. Correctly identifies the number "1". Made a butterfly mask: used this template, stuck it on cardstock, decorate as described on "50 Rainy Day Activities".
29-09-2007 (Satuday): Field trip! China Camp, CA. Touched seaweed and shells. Saw a sampan, dead dear, turkey, and golden eagles. Collected pieces of shells from the beach and made a collage (with tissue and shells collected from beach) at home in the shape of a shell.
