He is also learning lots of stuff from his siblings and Ipad time.<\/p>\n<p>We are still reading through the <u>Read to Me Bible<\/u>. Will start in on the scheduled one when we are finished. We read one or two poems from <u>Poems and Prayers for the Very Young<\/u> each week.<\/p>\n<p>This is a list of the books we read in the last six weeks. Many of them are in compilations so we don&#8217;t have all of the actual books, just lots of big ones to lug around. Usually after I read the scheduled reading for the day, Joel wants me to read him one that he picks. I have a great collection of Scholastic stories that are read out loud on DVD and many times we will watch the corresponding video after reading the stories.<br \/>\nRaunzel<br \/>\nLittle Mermaid<br \/>\nBeauty and the Beast<br \/>\n12 Dancing Princesses<br \/>\nRumpelstiltskin<br \/>\nLittle Red Riding Hood<br \/>\nGoldilocks and the 3 Bears<br \/>\nChicken Little<br \/>\nTortoise and the Hare<br \/>\n3 Little Pigs<br \/>\nPrincess and the Pea<br \/>\nHorton Hatches the Egg<br \/>\nNana Upstairs and Nana Downstairs<br \/>\nIan and the Giant Leafy Obstacle<br \/>\nThe Bee Tree<br \/>\nCaps for Sale<br \/>\nA Baby Sister For Francis<br \/>\nWilliam&#8217;s Doll<br \/>\nOne Morning in Maine<br \/>\nMike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel<br \/>\nThe Little House<br \/>\nSwimmy<br \/>\nA Chair for My Mother<br \/>\nThe Letter<br \/>\nA Million Fish More or Less<br \/>\nMillions of Cats<br \/>\nAlexander and the Terrible. . .Day<br \/>\nCurious George<br \/>\nMiss Nelson is Missing<br \/>\nThe Cat Club<br \/>\nSylvester and the Magic Pebble<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/themoehrings.com\/zp\/albums\/2.2.Benjamin-Henry\/2018\/11%20bday\/31%20carol%20joel.JPG?ssl=1\"  \/>Our Science book is the <u>Flip Flap Body Book<\/u> and our social studies one is <u>What Do People Do All Day<\/u>, we usually do one or two of these a week.<\/p>\n<p>He also has a maze book and an early learning workbook that he will do pages out of while the others have seat work. I have him working through a scissors skill book even though he doesn&#8217;t like it much, but it is good for his little finger muscles to get some practice.<\/p>\n<p>He, of course, gets to tag along to all the fun stuff his siblings are doing so gets lots and lots of extracurriculars. We have park day once a week and he was promoted to an actual class (instead of childcare) during Rangers on Wednesday nights. He also moved into the preschool Sunday School class. We had a little 4 yo move in next door and they have become best buddies. He gets to have his friend over or go over to his house about once a week. It is nice for him to have a friend his age that doesn&#8217;t involve Hannah and Benjamin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joel is scooting right along.
