Review Week

This week we are on Unit 25.
Reviewing letters Q, R, S, T.

For our bible study, we are learning some of the parables. The children are enjoying these stories. Plus, many of these stories can be found in their various bible story books. So, we have been able to find some really nice illustrations.

Every week there is a color activity where the kids glue colored items onto the color page. Instead of coping the page from the Heart of Dakota book, I have been using colored construction paper.

I collect adds and junk mail (reduce, reuse, recycle) which the kids then use to find the color of the week.

This week's color just happened to be red. Which worked out perfectly for the week leading up to St. Valentine's day.

My younger son, needed help cutting out the red apples, strawberries, and tomatoes. Yet, he is very good at gluing them to the paper. I also provided him with red crayons to use. He likes to trace his hand, and then either chew on or throws the crayons.
Hummmm...
He's a two year old boy, what do you expect? At least he's stinking adorable.

My daughter had the JCpenny's add today. She cut out red dresses and ruby earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. Instead of just gluing them randomly on the page, as I suggested, she used them to make a "Stylish Lady." Complete with earrings and a bracelet for a crown. Then she used a smaller red dress to make the women's daughter.

When her masterpiece was complete she added a pepperoni pizza for the mom and a plate of spaghetti for the daughter, because "she's allergic to pepperoni."

Her creativity never ceases to amaze me.
Such a clever girl.
