Letter F - Fishing

F is for Fishing.
We read "Piggy and Dad Go Fishing" by David Martin.

Then Jake got to use stickers to put together a fishing scene.

Jake said, "I excited to go fishing at da river...that will be fun!" :)

Snow Day!

Strangely, we haven't had much snow this winter. It's surprising that the snow waited until February to really show itself. Both children were so intrigued with the snow...Celia especially! She is one tough cookie - she just stood there taking the cold.

Eric has been so excited all winter to take the children sledding and he jumped at the chance today! It's always funny to see toddlers all bundled up and barely able to move. :)

Sledding for the first time!

Eric pulled all three of us around the block!

He is the best Papa ever!

While sledding was great fun, I think we are all excited for summer!!

Letter F - Fort

F is for Fort.
I forgot to take a picture of the book we read,
but it was called "Nothing To Do" by Douglas Wood.

Our fort was very cozy! Jake thought it was so cool to have a space
all to himself to read his books.

Letter F

Today was President's Day so the Library was closed.
We took the opportunity to look at the letter F and do a fun painting project.

Letter E - Elephant

E is for Elephant
We read "Forget Me Not."

The first day we made elephant masks.
I didn't really mean for them to look so creepy. :)
The children thought they were fun.

The next day we planted Forget Me Not seeds.
I hope they grow!!

Letter F and G combined this coming week...

Letter E - Engine

Letter E is for Engine

We read "Jingle the Brass" by Patricia Newman (about 7 times). :)

Then Jake got to glue a train together and decorate it however he wanted.

I think this was his favorite craft we have done so far.

Signing letter E

Celia had fun just being cute. :)

Behind...

I was so excited for letter E.

While we DID read our lesson books this week, we didn't do much in the way of crafts or activities. It's amazing how a few days of being sick can put you so behind on EVERYTHING! I haven't decided if we will double up next week or if we will do E over. Either way, I WILL continue to post because I love looking back on all of our past lessons. :o)

Just an update for the grandparents who follow along. :o)

Letter D - Duck

D is for Duck
We read this very sweet book, "Lemon the Duck," about a duck who needed extra special care.

Jake really took the book to heart and provided extra special care for his "Lemon" the duck. He made sure that his duck had water to drink and swim in. Never mind that the water to drink became the water to swim in...all over the floor. :)

Side note: We had a bit of a bug this week so we skipped a couple of "learning" days. But this officially completes one full month of our lesson plans! Looking forward to letter "E!"
