You Can Read: Unit 12 {she, who, this, away}
RRSK: Letter Ff
Theme of the Week: Pumpkins
You can download all of the printables for this unit FREE here on the main RRSK page, just scroll down until you see them! We do 2 activities from the set per day, making 10 total activities.
This week we did John 3:16, and instead of making up my own verse tune, we used the tune from Seeds Family Worship {Eternal Life, on the Seeds of Faith CD}. In the printable set, I offer 2 versions, the KJV from the book and the NIV from the CD…be sure to print the ones you want for each page that has the verse on it!
I am not sure if I have ever shown a photo of his current work area, here he was working on one of his pages, you can see he is not actually sitting at his desk in this shot, his actual desk is off to the right, he is sitting at his workbox shelf. I hang up his RRSK and his YCR stuff together now. His completed work gets hung up on the cork boards over his desk.
Gluing the verse, we did this one in strips, since it was so long…
Glittering his sight word {even though he already knew it}
Reviewing our past sign language letters and working on the letter Ff, I really need to laminate a set of these!
Here he is singing for you, if you don’t recognize the tune, be sure to download the Seeds version, it is wonderful!

We used unit 12 from You Can Read. Here’s a glimpse into some of the You Can Read work he did. I don’t have many photos because he is doing a lot of the work independently now while I am working with PacMan.
He decided to try a highlighter for tracing and really enjoyed this.
Finding words in sentences in the dry erase center, still one of his favorites.
Stamping his words ~ not one of his favorites {YCR add-on}…
He LOVES the sight word graphing {YCR add-on}
Adding words to his caterpillar.
Krash wants to play the same word games every day now!

We strung out our pumpkin activities over a couple of weeks, here’s a few he did.
I called out a sound and he had to find the letter.
Color word work…
Simple addition…
Jack O Lantern Face Race game…
And, of course, carving his own pumpkin. Hating every moment of the guts digging.
One thing I really love about Calvert, is their phonics readers. They have a strong phonics approach to teaching reading and their phonics readers are wonderful. They take a word family and the simple sight words a child has already learned and make a simple book. For the next book, it combines the word family from the previous book and a new one, plus the known sight words. There are 20 books all together. As far as I know you cannot buy them as a stand alone set, at least not new ~ I have seen them on eBay and Paper Back Swap.
Each book has a signature page in the back for the child to read it to different people and get them to sign it. We have a 3 person “rule” meaning he has to get at least 3 signatures! He likes the challenge, here he is earning one from Baba and one from Pac Man!
We got out our Alphabet Sounds Box, worked with 3 different sounds…
He is VERY into addition facts and is miles ahead of his K curriculum, so we just do our own thing. He has memorized his addition facts {after learning the process itself quickly}, in a way Pac never did! Here is is working with our math facts file folder game. He looks at the fact and puts it in the correct pocket…
He has access to a web program called First in Math, he loves this and here was working on addition facts also!
One of his all time favorites, Guidecraft’s City Blocks…
