Weekly Wrap Up

This week we focused on:

• Kindness
• Colors
• Tracing letters
• Literature through a lot of reading 
• Making Smoothies in the kitchen together

Early, early one morning ( and I do mean early as my boys are early risers!), I found these two cuddled up together reading a book together in the glider! I quickly grabbed the camera to take a snapshot as this is just too precious of them!

We made peach, banana, and strawberry smoothies together for a morning snack. I am trying to allow them both to be more helpful in the kitchen. This time we used frozen fruit, a little juice and yogurt! The boys loved their smoothies and I feel great serving it to them as I know they are eating a healthy snack. It's a win-win!

JP poured the juice.

And CA added the yogurt. I love his smile here!

This week I made a Preschool Notebook for JP with a lot of activities in sheet protectors. He seemed excited about it.

Here he is beginning to work on some of the activities.

I had a theme planned to work on the four seasons of the year, but when JP's interest switched to all things Peter Pan this week I switched the plans to adapt to him. He loved the activities in the Peter Pan Preschool Pack at Homeschool Creations.

This graphing activity in the preschool pack was a huge hit!

CA also worked on a color activity that I also found at Homeschool Creations.

I also taught CA how to sort the silverware while unloading the dishwasher this week. He LOVED it! He was so excited that when the Daddy got home he ran out to tell him, "I helped Mommy today!!!!! Mommy, what did I help you do? What it called?" I explained that he sorted the silverware! So sweet!

Linked up to these great parties!

B is for Birthdays!

Our first preschool theme was Birthdays! We celebrated JP's birthday and read books all about birthdays. We worked on the letter B, the color orange, and one shape. The boys did well. I didn't push it too much, when JP said he was done we stopped. I want to keep it fun and light. Stay tuned for more fun with D is for Dinosaurs!

A few of our birthday books...

CA practicing coloring over the letter B.

JP concentrating on tracing. We are enjoying using expo wipe on markers and sheet protectors.

More tracing practice.

Playing a fun matching game.

A favorite activity: coloring with dot markers.

For JP, I found an awesome Birthday preschool pack here.
For CA, I found a great toddler pack at Tot School here.
