Another school day!

Although Jayden has been requesting harder work, I’m not planning on introducing any new concepts until after the holidays. So for now this is how school went:

A review of the last two weeks of spelling words. He had an oral exam for both, which he aced.

While he did his spelling, Cait watched the “Bubble Guppies”

He did his math worksheet extremely quickly with no errors.

Then he had to build sentences. He had to cut out the rectangles on the bottom of the page and paste them into the appropriate sentence.

Cait discussed her toes with me.

And last, Jayden worked on his LA workbook.

And Cait also worked on her Blues Clues Dry Erase mat that Jayden bought her with some of his tooth fairy money!Red heart

I forgot to add that over the weekend the children made a no-sew fleece blanket for baby Lexi!

We also tried to be creative and make puppy cupcakes. While they weren’t aesthetically pleasing, they were delicious!

This is what the finished product was supposed to look like:

Playdate at the library!

Last week we met up with Carolyn and Olivia. We hadn’t seen them in a couple of weeks since Jayden, Hayzel & May were sick. We met at the library for a Space Explorer story time and craft.

One of the librarians, Miss Alyssa, read several stories about space to the children.

Then they started their craft.SAM_0424
