CHICKA, CHICKA, BOOM, BOOM

We started our second Book Adventure this week.  Chicka, Chicka, Boom, Boom!  Princes is loving it.  In fact, she asks to "do school" every day.  She starts out with Easy Peasy with Boo Bear and then she & I work on her Book Adventure activities.  Here is Day 1 of Chicka, Chicka, Boom, Boom.

 

We checked these books out from the library.  We only used the a,b,c one today.

While she waits for me to set up she enjoyed the book she chose from the library.

I got this DVD from Netflix. 

 

Digging for letters.

Boo helped me make the coconut tree.

She dug for letters A, B & C.

B!

She found them all!

Putting up the coconut tree.

 

 

She is really happy with her new tree.  We started putting letters on it on Day 2.

ON THE HUNT FOR LETTER A

 

 

Today I set up a little treasure hunt for Princess.  She is in preschool and learning her letters and numbers among other things. I thought it would be fun.  And so did she.  =)

 

 The boys helped me get the Aa's ready.  Yes, they are very silly.

 

 All ready to start the search!

 Here's one on the stairs!

 She's starting to get quite the collection.

 

 Every time she found one she had to say it's name & it's sound.

 

 

 They were upstairs too!

 In the boy's room........

 .........and on the toy shelves.

 She found all 23 cards!  And most of all she had a great time.  Yay!

 Next it was time for a worksheet to reinforce our learning.

 She got to use her new dot markers for the first time. 
 

 She said the letter and it's name as she worked.

 Ta-dah!

 Another fun worksheet.  She traced the A's and then cut out pictures that started with the letter A.

 All done!

And then it was time for Play-doh with her big sister. 

PRESCHOOL FOR PRINCESS

Today Princess had her first, full day of preschool of this school year.  She really enjoyed it.  I'm eager to see her learn & grow as the year continues.  It is fun to spend this special time with her.

 

 

 She was very pleased with her little apple.
This was a craft her big sister made up for her.

 Next we had our first "Book Adventure".  We read The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle.  Then we went outside to harvest our sunflower seeds from the sunflowers we grew this year.

 

 

 This was only one of the pans we filled with sunflower seeds.

 She made a craft with the seeds.  Her sister helped her with this after I gave her instructions.

 Almost finished!

 

 So proud of her flower!

 This afternoon I taught history to Elvis & Bugs.  She wanted to join us.

 She really enjoyed watching the videos about the Cherokee.

 

Her mosaic flower.

 

Here she is posing with the book we read and her flower creation.  Great job, Princess!
