Walking by the Way

Elijah's Poem-- Round is a Balloon

We used the template at Homeschool Share to help Elijah write his own "Round is" poem like the book we read, Round is a Mooncake.

He did great, but got really tired of thinking of round things by the end (he pointed at the laterns on the string in his room, but wouldn't say the words!).  I added the "round are apples on a tree" and he approved with a head shake and a smile.

Oh, and mushroom is code word around here for marshmallow, but we kept mushroom for sound purposes!  :)  Plus, it will be great to look back someday and remember that he thinks marshmallows are "mushrooms"  :).

Round is a balloon

Round is the clock
Round are the animal faces on my birthday card

Round is a light that I found
A potato head nose that makes no sound

Round are hats in my room
Round are little white mushrooms

 

Round is a can of beans

And the laterns on a string

Round are apples on a tree
What other round things do you see?

About Me

As I walk by the way with my children, I hope to keep a record here of what we do as well as thoughts, hopes, and prayers I have as a homeschooling mother. Deut. 6:5-9 is the heartbeat of our homeschool, "And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart... And these words…shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them… when thou walkest by the way…"
