Letter C Fun!

We had lots of fun with letter C this week. We started by using tongs to make a colorful caterpillar. When we went on a hunt for caterpillars outside later that day, but we didn't have much luck finding them.... 

We traced and then tried to use different shapes of paper and copy cat a cat!



We cut out a circle clock...



and played Candy Land (many times this week, it's a family favorite).



We cut open a cantaloupe (Alexis guessed the inside to be green so she was surprised when we cut it open!



After lunch we did a Car puzzle and made a candy corn C for dessert.



We watched Kieryn play volleyball on Monday night! Her team lost but they played so well!!









On Tuesday we tried a new recipe and made cake mix chocolate chip cookies. They were AMAZING!





While they were baking we played cookie memory. All the images on the back were things that started with C. Once we got a match, we had to put it in the (paper) cookie jar.



And we had time for a cotton ball cloud...



While Kieryn and Ronan had practices on Tuesday night we played on the track at the new middle school rec center!





We started Wednesday with a photo shoot to promote 4-H! These three have really enjoyed all the fun activities, especially the fair. 







We had a lot of fun with Cars on Wednesday for letter C.





We did cupcake shape matching...





And later we used crayons to create a Car City....







It's starting to feel a lot like Fall here! We had no where to go on Wednesday evening so the kids loved raking the leaves into piles and jumping in!







On Thursday we started our C lesson using Cranky the Crane and matching circles to the right letter for some name practice.



We did a Cinderella puzzle...



C stamping...



and some crazy color mixing and finger painting...



...to make a cross! We took time to talk about why the cross symbol is important to us...



Ronan had football on Thursday night but I didn't have my phone so sadly, no pictures. His team lost, but he did a wonderful job at stealing the other team's flags! He's so fast!!



On Friday we colored in the morning and then enjoyed some Cow Cheese for lunch...



we ended the lesson by playing catch!





Over the weekend, Tyson got his first haircut! He looks so grown up!



If the weather agrees with us, the kids will get to ride in a combine on Monday when we visit the Haug farm. We will play with cats and see cows! What a great way to end our letter C learning! 

Until next time!

Just Like That - It’s October!

Alexis and Tyson had a great time with letter "B" this week! We tried to have "b" foods whenever we could add them in... biscuit, bread, bacon, bagel, berries, beans, buns, burgers, etc. It was fun to see how creative we could be!

We started the morning with bubbles, biking, and of course a bike bubble bath!

Alexis practiced making "B" with beads... we also made a bracelet, but she didn't want to wear it. 





While I put Tyson down for a nap, Alexis practiced cutting and sorting...



fun with beans...



When Tyson woke up we played blocks!





On Tuesday we went on a bear hunt...



Alexis also found her beautiful butterfly costume to wear!





bath puzzle...



We balanced buttons on a spoon and tried to walk to different destinations in the house without dropping them... She loved this!





The favorite activity of the day was playing with bouncy balls... even Tyson loved this one!







On Wednesday we did some bug patterning, "B" stamping, and then went on a bug and bird hunt!









the binoculars really helped us find the sneaky "b" critters!





While on our adventure, we heard some noise from across the street and found that there was a bulldozer working so we took a break from our hunt to watch...



Wednesday is Alexis's dinner night so we prepared bread in a bag. It was very yummy!

We colored and did a puzzle on Thursday...





found something that started with "b"...



then practiced some color matching and counting using birds and bird houses (blue, brown, and black)



We had a great time at Ronan's double header on Thursday evening! He is really improving at flag football each game!





We had an extra cheerleader in our section...





Friday we used our bodies to move and play with lots of different balls...



Luckily the mornings have been cooler and perfect for all the outside fun!









Later we traced and had some blueberries...





We ended the week with balloon fun!





What a fun time with these two!! Until next time!
