{Weekly Wrap Up!} Letter Ss is for...{Elle 57 months}

Elle has had another full week of homeschooling as we prepare to 

take our first 2-week break of the school year!

We are focusing in on the Letter S, the color purple, rectangle shape,
the Godly Character Trait "Helpful"
Memorized Little Bo Peep, and Psalm 98:1.

Please take a moment to see our summary of the week!!

 We had a lot of fun making our own bars of soap this week!

Read more about it here.

Making homemade laundry soap.

 Letter S drawer items from our Alphabet Box---stingray,
stethoscope, stamp, star, spider, sheep,

shoes, strawberry, snowman, spoon, seashells, squash etc.

 Shaking discovery bottles.

 Stringing popcorn.

 Spelling.

 Shape patterns.

 Beginning to "sew" with our lacing animals.

 Just plain silly:)

 Our Snow Falling Down Craft.

 Shape sorting.

 Sandpaper sensory tiles.

 S is for Salad. We all LOVE salads:)

 Stacking Wedgits.

Stacking Tumba blocks.

 So very proud of her subtraction work!!

She completed this with very little instruction from my husband.

 This is a GREAT little math game I picked up for 90 cents. 

It is by leap frog and it has cards with numbers as well

as the addition and subtraction symbols. I use the mat from the game as well, but also 

added our own math manipulatives (plastic butterflies) for Elle

to visualize each subtraction problem by physically counting and taking away 

the correct number of butterflies based on what cards she draws.

There were a lot of steps to this game, but Elle really

enjoyed it and had a lot of fun!

 Studying Space.

 Scooping flower petals.

 Scooping snow crystals.

 Drawing a self-portrait.

 Again..just plain silly;-)

 Making a snow cone.

 Decorating our fiber optic CHRISTmas

tree I got for 15 cents!

And, apparently S is also for "sneaky." LOL. Our oldest
dog Max LOVES to come and sneak in the kitchen when
the girls are eating their breakfast:)
Well, at least he helps me clean the floor of their granola:)

We had a really nice week! This first quarter has just flown by!

I am REALLY looking forward to our break.

Please be sure to have a safe and happy holiday and check back with

us often--we'd love to hear from you!

Blessings,

Em's Tot School {28 Months} Letter Ss.

Em has had a very full week of homeschooling as we are preparing for

our first 2-week holiday break of this school year!

We are really looking forward to the break from the 

more structured learning, but will continue to use our time 

having fun and still learning new things!

Our letter of the week is S, color is purple and our bible verse is "Sing 

to the Lord a new song, for He has done wonderful things." Psalm 98:1
Our Godly Character Trait is Helpful.

Here is a summary of some of our "Letter S" activities--enjoy!

 Em had a great time playing with our 

Purple Sensory Tub!!

And, she did a nice job of cleaning up all the little

rocks she spilled as well:)

 Shaking up their discovery bottles.

 Stacking the new Wedgits I got for under $2!! More on that later:)

 Decorating our little CHRISTmas tree I got for 15 CENTS!

 S is for scale. Em had a great time weighing everything in sight. 

She just kept saying, "Let's see---how much does this weigh?"

 Scooping some rose petals.

Sister's support! This was the cutest gesture. 

Elle was working really well on some subtraction

and Em just went up to her and said, "Great job sister" and 

gave her a huge hug!! It brought tears to my eyes:)

And now...back to the Wedgits! I couldn't believe my eyes when I 

spotted this deal at one of my favorite thrift stores! I had to pick them up right away!

Yes, that's right---only $1.91 and they look BRAND NEW--just washed
them in bleach water, and they are good to go:)

Thank you so much for following along our journey with us!
