*2nd Month, Sixth Day

***Forgive me please! My wireless internet has been out so I wasn't able to blog at all! After an hour on the phone with Belkin, everything is back in order and now I get to spend the rest of the night blogging three days worth of activities. Forgive me again if Monday and Tuesday seem a little vague.***

Monday was basically a review day since Friday was spent on a field trip, so in Math we went over all shapes and patterns. After she successfully recalled ALL shapes, both 2D and 3D, I gave her the connector blocks and asked her to make one AB pattern, one ABB pattern, and one ABC pattern.

She did. Like so.

Math. Done.

I then asked Babe to retell "The City Mouse and the Country Mouse" to me, and she did! To a T! So I asked her if she remembered making a city last week, and when she said yes, I told her it was now time to make the country. I handed them all three cotton balls and a few popsicle sticks. I asked Babe what animal in the country kind of looks like a cotton ball.

"Sheep! Oh and are these sticks for their fence?"

Umm. Yes. Yes they are. Maybe I'll just let her teach herself Kindergarten.

So off they went, into craft world.

Z, in his true fashion, glued random things in random places.

Awesome.

Bubs has the same idea. A little marker here, a little stick there. Done.

Babe took a different approach to the country as she did the city. Her view of the country was more birds-eye, since she wanted to express how the country has "only one road."

And can we talk about how cute that sheep is?

For Science, we reviewed all of our senses and completed our sense wall. It's fun to keep up and look at every time we go into the back office. Babe always laughs at something different every day.

I remember having a bit of time before dance, so I gave her "The Autumn Leaf" by Carl Emmerson to add to her reading log. This book was adorable. It was about one last little leaf who was scared to fall from the oak tree in the park, so two kids, Owen and Emma, tried to help it not be scared.

"Why do you think the leaf was afraid to fall from the tree?"

"Because it thought it was going to blow away and never see his friends again."

How cute.
