Week 3!

Practicing letters in corn meal!

This week was C for Colors

We experimented with primary & secondary colors using colored water & pipettes - great for fine motor control too!

We read Little Blue & Little Yellow - they hugged until they were green!  Then we painted with wet on wet watercolors & made our own green pictures





Hiding from mountain lions in our tent!

Abraham found a little praying mantis friend :0)

Auberon & Adelina also found a little critter - a wooly worm!

Matching our little rainbow men to the rainbow colors

I will miss you all next week while I'm at the Wild & Free homeschool mom conference  - but I know you'll have fun with Jenn Finley too!  See you soon!

First day of prek fall classes 2018!

A little cliche these days, but yes, A for apples!
We read 10 Apples Up on Top & used stickers to show how many apples our animals could balance

Farm animal fun in the lentil bin! 

Playdough is always a hit - we used stamps to mark A's & a's in the dough

Chef Abram!

I love our cozy table with the window!

Arc really enjoyed the Thomas trains - all my boys have loved these over the years too :0)

Adelina, Isaac & Taylor making cupcakes

Hi Kylie!

Auberon matched all the pieces!

Diving right in!

Isaac & Benjamin's turn with the playdough

Malachi & teacher helper Grace concentrated on their paintings for a long time :0)

Taylor takes care of our room by throwing away her trash!

...so does Malachi....

....and Isaac!

A quick walk outside to collect leaves & plants for a group sticky picture!  We put contact paper up on the wall sticky side out with a bare paper tree trunk stuck on it - and then added our nature treasures!


It was a wonderful first day!  This coming week we are hoping for blue skies & lots of sunshine so we can get out to the playground & maybe the mud kitchen ;0) Remember - class time ends at noon now!
