Week 12

Our Focus:

Our letter project this week was a paper kite. It was a pretty easy paper project, but it involved cutting and gluing so she loved it! We did a review of her numbers this week, it looks like she has them down pat, with the exception of number 10. We made a very cute number caterpillar project, she put the pieces in order all by herself! She even noticed that if the 6 was turned up-side-down it looks like a 9. What a smarty pants!

I was playing blog catch-up today, so there are a lot of new entries, make sure you keep reading! More coming soon, we're almost done with week 13!

Snow Day!

My tech junkies on a snow day......

We manages to get them outside for some winter fun. Daddy made a cool snow fort AND a sledding hill out of the huge snowbank! Peek-a-boo Aislinn!

Liam pops out to say, "cheese!"

Diego got into the fun too! He loves to pull the sled.

This is the doggy smile that inspired me to go out and get him a harness for even more pulling power fun! I had him out again today and with the harness he can pull both kids! Now we need a bigger sled....

Week 11

Our Focus

We had fun this week! Aislinn took a journey to the store and bought some oranges for juice! We talked all about how oranges grow while we squeezed each one by hand. The juice was soooooo yummy!

Our fun project this week was this picture of jeans! I had some spare denim fabric so I traced out a shape for her to cut out, we added a button and some decorations with markers and ta-da, jeans! We glued them to construction paper so we could add them to the project wall.

She is doing so well in school. She had the concept of phonics, our main focus is on starting sounds in words, but we did one worksheet with rhymes and she picked it up right away. She has her numbers 1 through 9 down pat, but the two digit numbers are still a little confusing.
I love watching her catch on to new concepts, it's so rewarding, I love this job.

Dawgawn Fun

"What are YOU looking at?""Nothing Boss, nothing at all, I wasn't looking at anything...."

Nahhhhh he's not like that! He's a big ol' softie! He's a big ol' goofball too!

Week 10

Our focus:So far this has to be my favorite project this school year! We did ice painting! Here's her finished project:

We poured paint into little paper cups and placed one craft stick into each cup. The cups went into the freezer (along with a not that said, "do not eat.") and two days later we pealed off the paper cups and painted with the frozen paint! Here's my artist at work...

This project is getting framed, that's for sure.
