We had a very unexpected last 2 weeks so 'Megan School' was pretty much null and void. I spent the week at the hospital with my parents and family as my dad needed a triple bypass. It was very stressful and I'm so thankful for my father-in-law for coming and spending 4 days with us to care for our kids/house/dogs (we had my parents 2 dogs too!). Anyways, all is calm and all is bright now. We are attempting to get back to school this week with a new book however I do want to retouch on some things I didn't feel we finished up.
Each day we made a page that ultimately made up a book of all the toys from Corduroy. This was the giraffe.
The letter of the week was 'O'. She first colored it and then she smeared glue all over and sprinkled oatmeal on. After it dried I cut the 'O' out and glued it to a piece of colored paper. I put together a notebook that once we complete all of the ABC's she can go back and look through them.
Staying with the bear theme this week she sorted gummy bears.
Then we counted how many color of each one we had.
We made cinnamon/sugar paw print rolls for snack.
Outside of the Itty Bitty Bookworm we did a few other activities...
We made a 'pantry snowman' (with all stuff I found in the pantry!)
She sorted buttons by color all by herself while I was emptying the dishwasher!
She gave her baby doll a bath.
During the last 2 weeks we began our Itty Bitty Bookworm Curriculum and I loved it!! We started with CORDUROY:

My mom and I took the girls downtown Seattle and she got to ride the Westlake Center Carousel. That ride never gets old! This particular one went around and around REALLY fast. I was surprised!!
Dave and I also took the kids ice skating. We did this last year on New Years day and Riley loved it! Megan was still pretty young last year and didn't get out on the ice but this year she really thought it was fun. It was so cute to see how happy they were. I love ice skating and Dave plays ice hockey every weekend so hopefully it will be something the girls keep on enjoying...of course we should make more of an effort to take them more than once a year. ;)
See this face?! Yeah, this is the attitude that we've been seeing a lot lately. Spitting, yelling NO!, and stomping off. I realize it's just her testing her boundaries but man does it get old!
Here to hoping for a better week!
very cute! :)

ReplyDeleteI have seen a few posts now on people using the Itty bitty curriculum. It sounds like there are some neat activities with it. I am headed over there now to check it out. Thanks!
