Super S Week!

We began letter S by finding the letter in her name.. and on signs in the house…

Traced…



Then had fun with stickers… she made a very imaginative sticker story too!





Then we had fun outside! Snow, snowman, sledding…











Later we played a silly emotion and motion game using our stop watch. You flip one top card for the motion (squat, spin, sit, shuffle, etc), then flip a bottom card to see the emotion you do with the motion (sad, silly, serious, scared, etc) then we timed it for 16 or 17 seconds using the stop watch… like silly shuffles, or sad sitting, serious squatting, etc. the kids loved it!



We played Sequence with Ronan that afternoon…



And had snow cones for dessert at dinner!





On Tuesday we played with sand and sea shells…



Did some practice sewing…





And then used the shovels to make a fun snow pile!



Later we played Stuffies!





On Wednesday we did a shape S using foam shapes… we did a shape puzzle and lots of practice with shapes!







We ended the lesson with practice listening for the S sound in words.





Thursday was a SNOW day!! Kieryn and Ronan got to start their spring break a day early!











Then we did stamping and a few games- scrabble and sorry…







Snowman with your sister- it’s the best!



Maddie was stuck playing fetch inside because the snow was too deep! She is very good at delicately placing her bone in a convenient spot for the thrower… and then waiting and watching until the bone is launched somewhere in the house. She could play this game for hours and never tire!



Until next time!

Really Rad Week

We ended last week with basketball late afternoon on Sunday (4 & 5 pm). Both Kieryn and Ronan are really enjoying the sport and both have improved so much since January!

After basketball we ventured out to Rocky Ford to explore for a short time so that we were prepared for our 4-H outdoor adventure the following Saturday (helps to know where to explore when you're the leader before taking a group of kids out to explore!)



Everyone had a great time!



On Monday Alexis and Tyson started learning about letter R!



We began with sensory play - ROCKS and Alexis had fun sorting the colors!







We talked about rockets and made our own after crafting a cool racoon!





On Tuesday we were outside a lot due to the 70 degree weather! 



We had fun with ribbon wands on the trampoline... and of course we ran and raced outside too!









On Thursday we enjoyed story time at the library and guess what? The book was "row, row, row your boat!" Alexis was excited that it began with R!





Ran into some friends at the library...





Later we made red rectangle robots and spent time finding "rectangles" throughout the house...



practiced counting and number tracing...



On Friday we did a lesson on rainbows and practiced counting and colors!





We had our toy friends help us with counting!





Ronan had basketball on Saturday morning...





He had six steals and one rebound which won him MVP for the game (and a sonic gift cards)... his teacher came to watch too! What a fun morning!



That afternoon we ventured to Rocky Ford again for our 4-H outdoor adventure! Alexis was excited that our adventure started with letter R! Despite the wind and later chilly temperatures, the kids had a blast!



Kieryn enjoyed her junior leader duties of explaining the kindness rock craft!



The group hiked and picked up trash too!







Each kiddo collected 4 rocks to clean and paint. They got to add kindness words later and hide them on trails or playgrounds where ever they choose! It was fun!





We ended the weekend with our final basketball games of the season! Both Kieryn and Ronan played so well!





Ronan scored his first basket and was so proud!





It was a fun week! Until next time...
