We began "I" week talking about "I believe" and what we believe as followers of Jesus Christ and God the Father...
Those terms are is still a little confusing, so we simplified to God and Jesus. I incorporated things that she has been taught or being taught in Children's Church... God created the world and all things in it in 7 days.... God blessed her with a loving family... Jesus loves her no matter what... and God and Jesus give her strength to do all things!
She liked it! We talked about this a few more times during the week.
After that activity she surprised me... she began drawing the letter I without anything to trace!
While Kieryn was at school, Ronan worked on some fine motor activities...
Then after naps the kids wanted to be King and Queen, so we made an instrunment to play while "announcing" one another. We made a kazoo. They really had fun!
Afterwards we took turns doing an instrument puzzle and watching a brief video of different instruments playing. We then played some more instruments we have and danced around!
On Tuesday we began with a "I" smash game... it was an obstacle course too. Kieryn had to pick a card from the bucket. It had either "I" or "i" and she had to hit the correct letter with her ball. But first...
She had to run and jump over the Bosu, then do the hallway hopscotch....
Ronan had fun too!
We also experimented by putting one ice cube in hot and one in cold water to see what would happen...
Then we played pretend...
That evening we made an ice castle like Queen Elsa!
On Wednesday we did a counting game with ice cream cone scoops... We took turns saying a number for each other. Then we had to put that many scoops on the ice cream cone!
Had to do one giant one!
Then we dug out the ice castle for a bit more play!
While Kieryn was at school, Ronan played is favorite instrument!
That afternoon, Kieryn painted an ice cream cone with puff paint (glue and shaving cream). She loved it! It turned into finger painting, but was fun just the same!
That night after supper we made ice cream in a bag! Took 10 min and was surprisingly good! We'll be doing this again in the future!
Kieryn and Ronan smashed up some KitKat toppings!
YUM!
On Thursday we talked about insects. It was too cold to go outside, so we did an insect hunt in the basement after reading a few books about them.
These particular insects glowed in the dark!
On Friday we did an "I" hunt, and then went to the bath for some bean play. We brought out the insects and the kids played for a long time!
Over the weekend we spent time with the Copp family in MD. Kieryn and Ronan had so much fun with Grandpop, Grandmom, Uncle Kevin, and cousin Tiana! I didn't take any pics, but there was dress-up, lots of singing/dancing, running outside, coloring, and pretend play. The kids really had a great time!
Until next time!
