Bible Connections
This week we talked about obedience briefly and learned Colossians 3:20 (ESV) "Children OBEY your parents in everything for this pleases the Lord." (This is included in my Stored In Your Heart Bible Verse Set.) Of course this is a favorite verse in our house so we didn't need too much work to memorize it.
Each week we pick a prayer person to pray for. Shortcake didn't have any friends that started with the Letter O, so we prayed for President Obama both weeks. We briefly talked about what a president is and how President Obama needs God's wisdom to make wise decisions for our country.
Phonics Connections
We focused on octopus, ostrich, and ox over our two weeks. With my third pregnancy we didn't get through everything, but I always like to over plan.

Math Connections
We continued to focus on OPPOSITES and OCTAGON over the Oo weeks. We read several books on opposites (see my list of books for the letter Oo).
We talked about what an octagon looked like.
Then, we made little octagon monsters .
We also reviewed the color orange. We talked about different things that are orange (oranges, Jack o' lanterns, carrots, etc.) We sang about how to spell the color orange. See my song list for the letter Oo. We went on an orange leaf hunt. We even painted our fingernails orange!! I love teaching my little Shortcake!
