Crafts and more






I've decided to start using my early childhood knowledge for some good. haha I found a really simple curriculum online with books and crafts etc. This week we're learning all about flowers. This morning we read a book called This is a Sunflower and made sunflowers with our handprints and then glued real sunflower seeds in the middle. I was going to end it there but Reese kept saying "lets do more lets do more" so we did a little sequencing activity as well. Then we went outside and played in our sensory tub I made for her (also on the website). She can't get enough of it. Saige even enjoyed playing with it. She did try to eat all of the seeds though (yuck) Reese calls it her garden and played with it for an hour last night and again for half an hour this morning. Shes going to love school next year. Heres some pictures of our fun!

The website is called http://www.hubbardscupboard.org/ If you play around with some of the links to the side (preschool section) you'll find all of the lessons, sensory tubs, and crafts there. It also has some cute ways of memorizing/teaching bible verses.

Gymnastics Fun

Today at gymnastics they had a jungle celebration complete with a medal and all. It was a jungle theme and all the whole place was so cute. First they jumped with balloons, and then did all their flips and then the balance beam (Reese's favorite), then played at the mountain and then got their medal. We even took a picture with Ms. Margie the teacher. Reese loves her to pieces. Heres some pictures :) Enjoy

SInging like a rock star

Nathan came over to play today. As Kellie was packing up to leave Reese and Nathan put the chairs in the playroom beside each other and started singing in microphones. It was so cute. I only caught the end of it.









Happy Birthday Saige

We had a wonderful party. Saige was blessed with lots of friends and family. We did a cupcake theme and she had a little tutu on. She got lots of great gifts but I think her favorite was the new car. She sits in it all the time now :)
