Fantastic Friday!

It sure worked good to sing our A song while working on writing our letter Aa's., "a mountain with a stick across the top" and "a circle with a stick right down"! We had some fantastic looking A's today and I'm sure they will continue to keep improving!

Gavin & Kendra playing in the sensory table (this week we had colored rice and alphabet letters)

Breakfast: donuts, oranges
Lunch: chicken fries, french fries, watermellon
Snack: special k bars

Have a great weekend everyone!

Garrett & Gavin on the airplane teeter totter

We kinda had a lazy day today (I told Garrett we would have to make up for it tomorrow!) since I had to run to the Dr for lab this morning so the kids colored with Mike while I was gone. When I returned, we played outside until Brianna got off the bus from her first day of preschool! 

Breakfast: cereal, banana
Lunch: tuna hotdish, pears, peas, garlic bread
Snack: goldfish crackers

Alexis enjoying playing outside

Letter A

Here is the kids singing their letter A song

Wednesday, August 25

The kids worked on lacing cards this morning while Alexis had her bottle. We glittered our name (worked on name recognition) then finished up circle time by playing with playdough! Oh and I can't forget singing the letter A song, the kids were so bummed that we didn't do it before I had them put their shoes on so we had to do it after we had our shoes on to go out! Whatever makes them happy!


Working on shaking that glitter... Shake it, Shake it!



Playing playdough!



Alexis loved her banana this morning! Nummm....

Breakfast: banana bread & grapes
Lunch: pizza boats, green beans, oranges
Snack: watermelon and crackers

Picture Day!

Enjoy our new pictures from today!! I was able to capture 3 good pictures out of 21!

Letter A Day, August 24th

Today we learned about letter Aa. We tried out our new DVD's from Heidi Songs. We stamped the letter A on an alligator. Aylah brought home our letter jar and filled it with lots of things that start with the letter A... Thanks Aylah! Here is how the song goes that we learned today:

The A Song
(A Hunting We Will Go)

Oh, the A goes /a/, /a/, /a/!
The A goes /a/, /a/, /a/!

The big A is a mountain with a stick across like that!

Oh, the A goes /a/, /a/, /a/!
The A goes /a/, /a/, /a/!

The little A's a circle with a stick right after that!



Breakfast: cereal, grapes
Lunch: spaghetti, oranges, garlic bread
Snack: yogurt & animal crackers

Monday, August 23rd

School has started... Yippee! We had a great summer with the school kids, but it is so nice to get back into our little routine with the little kids! I'm lovin' it and I hope they are too!
On Monday, we read "The Kissing Hand". Here you will see the kids painting black (night time) on their paper so we can add Chester the raccoon to it. We also made Chicka Chicka trees with our handprints.

Breakfast- pancakes, banana
Lunch- ham, cheesy potatoes, grapes, bread
Snack- monster cookies

Week in Review!

Amber celebrated her 6th Birthday on Tuesday! It's so hard to believe that she is 6 already:-( (It makes me feel old!) She was just a baby when I started daycare with my mom, so I guess that she is really like my own baby growing up!





Grandma Rosie came and read stories this week... JJ, Dawson
& Amber had to make sure and sit on her lap as it would be
there last time before they would start kindergarten!



Morgan reading stories at nap time!

Alexis swinging in the swing, it must tickle her tummy because she sure does giggle a lot!
