Another gaming day!

I made today another gaming day. This is what J worked on today:

 And Ms. Diva is running around today with a tutu and paired it with accessories of her choosing which included one sock, 2 hair bands and a tiara.

Laid back Tuesday

I completely forgot about this nifty gadget we got for J. We made today a relaxed learning day. He felt like he got to play a game when in reality, he was learning! This is the gadget! We went through the letters we already learned and practiced writing them, as well as their sounds. We also went through most of the letters because J asked if we could.

And of course, here he is!
He looks so grown up here!!

And, of course, our daily dose of diva!

Happy Monday!

Friday we took the day off since daddy was home. Today we did the work we were scheduled to do last Friday!

J reviewed numbers 2-5



 We went over our C words (J took this picture!)


J drew crescents and hearts

And we made a book of J's faces with different emotions. Once it dries I will take more pics for tomorrows blog!


We completed everything before the littlest monster woke up from her nap! So no pics of her!

Better late than never!

Late in posting today's (well technically yesterdays) school day.

J is really loving school. He asks for work daily and does it without any problems whatsoever! He is grasping things quickly. He's such a smart boy!

As per our topic this week, we practiced writing Cc's and working on its sound, as well as the numbers 4 & 5!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

This evening we went out to run a few errands and I snapped these shots of them because they are so darn cute!
 

I also received an email yesterday from G with a really wonderful quote that I plan on printing out and putting up on our cork board.

Each day we make deposits in the memory banks of our children.

I would love nothing more than to be the ideal mom, but life happens and I am human. All I can do is try again and again until I get it right. I want their memory banks to be full of happy things. Here is hoping that from now on every tomorrow is better than today.

Back to school!

Today everyone felt better so we worked on school again!

We practiced writing 4 & 5 and added 4 arms and 5 noses to the alien.

We reviewed our colors in spanish and counted the number of spanish colors we've learned so far (5)

We practiced the letter Cc



J drew pictures of his "C" words...

Car & Cat

We are working on emotions and how to handle them this week. So far we have happy J & angry J! (This photo was taken by J)

Then we went outside to fill up one of our pumpkin bags with leaves.
J wanted to wear his new hat!
 
C took more leaves out of the bag than she helped put in!

He looks so cute!

 
The bag isn't completely full but J started gathering branches and throwing them and C started trying to run out of the front yard so I figured that was enough!
