Ah! Back to school time! We had a back to school week and celebrated with a school bus cake.



I am already missing all my big kids!

I've started a new type of curriculum since now my oldest child during the day is 31/2. My storytime and project time is not as elaborate as it used to be. We start off with singing and signing the alphabet.

Katie knows the sign for "L".

Then we learn a new song. This week and last week was "God made my ears!"
Next we do "stART" which is a story and an art project that goes with it. For instance on Friday, the theme was "My Toys." We read The Velveteen Rabbit and then painted with different toys.

The rest of the day, we point out shapes, colors, and letters, and sing, sing, sing! One of their favorite songs to sing is their name to the tune of 'Skip to my Lou'. Like, "K-A-T-I-E, K-A-T-I-E, K-A-T-I-E, that spells Katie!" By the time they go to Kindergarten, everyone knows how to spell not only their name, but every other child's name too.

Thanks to Sophie's mom for juice boxes and Brody's dad for lots of veggies!

Busy week, even busier weekend! We are helping our friends move this weekend, so I will post pictures and more at a later date!
