Positively Perfect Week

We began "P" week with pancakes and pineapple...

and some letter "P" color/search worksheets.

On Tuesday we did bean sensory play...

pom painting...

and a Princess & Prince picnic!

With pudding for dessert!

Later that afternoon I surprised Kieryn with a new puzzle!

Ronan is getting very good at the alphabet puzzle. He matched all these himself!

That night the kids helped me make petite pot pies...

with a Panda bear dessert that we all shared!

 

On Wednesday morning we tried peach muffins and prunes for breakfast... prunes were not liked very well.

While Kieryn was at school, Ronan and I played more with the poms. He was good at matching all the colors to the correct cup.

That afternoon we played pirates!

and prepared pepperoni pizza for our pirate party! Kieryn loved this!

We even had petite peach pies for dessert!

There was lots of pirate play after supper!

On Thursday morning we tried some patterning with beads. Ronan got to practice with large noodles instead... he still likes to eat everything!

Then we did a prayer exercise. We practiced writing letter p and then we repeated our baking soda/vinegar activity.

 This was to demonstrate how excited God gets when we pray. So Ronan and Kieryn took turns saying a prayer and then spraying the vinegar to see how excited God got (the baking soda bubbled and fizzed). The kids loved it!!

That night we made pretzel bread and had tuna patties! The kids actually liked it!

On Friday we did a pizza counting game and did our letter hunt. Kieryn found lots of good things...

pink bracelet, pen, percy, puzzle, and a pirate sword!

Until next time!

OOooo what fun it is!

We began "O" week with oatmeal and oranges.

 

We then did the opposite sheets from the previous "o" week. I was surprised that Kieryn remembered so many. We also watched a short opposites seasame street video and read a few opposite books.

We then did water play, experimenting with the opposites -float and sink. They had fun playing for a good 30 min at the sinks!

On Tuesday we did an obedience lesson and practiced drawing letter o.

Then we made jell-O, and did sensory play with it after naps.

On Wednesday we used marshmallow creme and practiced drawing letters. Kieryn loved this! We practiced o, and her name.

 On Thursday we watched a short video about the ocean and the animals that live there. We read a few books about it and then made an orange octopus. Kieryn got to count the "O" cereal to add to the eight legs! Ronan did some scooping with the spoon, putting o cereal into the ocean animal mold.

Later we talked about the short and long sounds that letter o makes. Kieryn seemed to really understand it. 

So we put it to the test on Friday when we did our letter o hunt. She could tell me whether the item started with a short or long "o" sound. I was impressed!

Until next time...

Nifty Week!

We began letter "N" week with some noise! We danced with our new noisy necklaces. The kids loved the sounds they made with we put them all on and danced/chased through the house!

On Tuesday we did tracing and fine motor practice by tearing newspaper and throwing it. It was an indoor snowball fight!

 

Later that day we read some books about birds and their nests. We then practiced sorting "big eggs" into the "big letter nest", and "little eggs" into the "little letter nest."

On Wednesday we played with noodles. We did a letter n with them, made noodle necklaces, and then just played.... Ronan like just playing!

That afternoon we enjoyed lunch and a playdate with friends and some classmates from Kieryn's school. It was a mad-house from 11:30-2pm!

But our guests had to leave at that time because many of them had to pick up older siblings from school because schools in the area let out early due to snow...so that evening, we went out and enjoyed the snow!

On Thursday we practiced more letter "n" with nuts, a necktie match, and a quick lesson on naughty and nice.

Then we had more friends over for lunch and a snow playdate. Callen and Cole had so much fun with Kieryn and Ronan!

We spent Friday at gymnastics and the library, but over the weekend we did painting...

and more snow play...

It was such a nice week!
