Dirt Cups

  It’s been my goal to have a weekly kid-friendly recipe – something fun we could all make together.  It’s really difficult to find easy, safe, and good recipes though!  But the harder I work at it, the more I find to try.  So for nature week we made dirt cups!  Most dirt cups come…

Tot School – Christmas!

Royal is 19.5 monthsIt’s been awhile since I’ve done a tot school post so this encompasses a few weeks!!Royal is really interested in his body parts, so we’ve been working on that with him.  Here is he pointing out his ears.  Playing with the iTouch.  He loves a few games on there… Baby Piano Lite…

PreK – Christmas style

We’ve been keeping it pretty simple lately and just trying to get some things done around the house.  School has mostly consisted of life school lately although we’re desperately trying to get back into our regular schedule! We’ve been posting our Christmas crafts daily, so I’m not going to repost them.  Here’s a little link…

PreK – Week of Oct 11

  This week we started a unit on Afghanistan.  I let Baloo choose which country to study next and he chose Afghanistan because Daddy just spent a year there.  I chose not to focus on the war, but instead the culture and the people who live there.  There really wasn’t a lot to be found,…

PreK – Week of Oct 4

  Finally we’ve had a semi normal week!!  I was actually feeling a bit better and we had a few normal days.  That ended on Wednesday though because I just am not happy with our set-up.  It’s too much “sit-down” work and not enough active.  I see pictures of all my friends kid’s preschools and…

Pre School Wrap Up 10/3

I have to start with a confession.  DH and I started trying for baby #3 when he got back from Afghanistan and we got our BFP August 1st.  We’re incredibly excited…and I am incredibly sick.  This is a bit part of the reason we’ve been taking it easy.  I was not really sick either either…

Tot School

Royal is 17 months Finally back on track…I think!  We haven’t been doing trays, more so just using intentional play as a learning method.  Royal really enjoys the 1 on 1 time and I think he likes having the toys laid out with all the correct items instead of the usual hodgepodge that we end…

Preschool – China Studies

I won’t pretend like we had the most successful week.  It seems like we’ve had more doctors appointments in the past 2 weeks than in my entire lifetime.  But we’re slowly getting back on track! We did our regular Calvert lessons this week.  We’re still getting into the routine of Calvert, but I’m really enjoying…

Starting PreK

We’re back!!!  After a completely unintentional summer break, we’re back.  We’ve moved twice (into a rental house now!) and have celebrated Baloo’s birthday!  My little man is now a full 4 years old!  After spending a good 2 weeks completely overwhelmed with starting PreK, I decided it was time for a more comprehensive curriculum.  I…

Tot school!

Royal is 13.5 months We had a pretty awesome week here.  Along with putting together our own theme stuff for preschool, I planned a bit more for tot school.  Win-win situation! We played with this shape sorter.  I wanted to show Royal how to put the shapes on and how to dump them off.  We…
