Baloo loves Angry Birds, if you can’t tell!!  He was the black Angry Bird for Halloween and asked for his face to be painted with the yellow Angry Bird and one of the pigs at a recent fair we went to.  So any time he has a chance to do something Angry Bird related he…

It’s been awhile since we had our last sensory bin out so the boys were pretty excited about this one.  I intended on it being a fall bin but it kind of turned into a Halloween/Fall bin.  I found the cutest little pumpkins at Walmart and couldn’t resist.  Other things in our bin:Fake bugsFoam leavesLeaf…

I’m a bit late, but thought I’d share our November Calendar cards anyway.  We’re doing an AABB pattern this month with turkeys and pilgrim hats.  These cards will fit the Target $1 pocket charts if you followed the tutorial at A Heart for Home. Download Cards Here!  

We continued with C week and the color yellow this week with a bit of angry birds thrown in.  We made some C’s with play doh And we finally got our yellow tray out and talked about all the yellow things!   We played with the cat color cards a few times this week.  Royal’s…

I’ve finished the add-ons for units 6-10 of the You Can Read program at 1+1+1=1. Baloo really enjoys these pages but they seem a bit challenging for him at the same time.  His favorite this past week was the spy words pages.  He loved using the magnifying glass! Here are the downloads for units 6-10!…

We are still in recovery mode here but somehow we still managed to have a fun week!!  We were concentrating on the letter C, the color yellow, and cats.  Here was Royal’s set-up this week: He is starting to understand that the letters are the ABCs.  He can usually point out B so I’m hoping…

Baloo and I have been working on his first kindergarten lapbook for about a week and a half now.  He saw Dolphin Tale with Daddy a few weeks ago and was so interested in dolphins!  Then his Gigi sent him a book about the movie Dolphin Tale and he was hooked.  So I asked him…

We started using our new kindergarten workbox labels this week and it did not go as planned.  I need to figure out how much he needs to accomplish in one day.  We got about half of our planned work done this week, of course we did have 1 unexpected day off and we’re still dealing…

Every few months I get the urge to change things up and this time we actually switched 2 rooms out.  Our living room and toy room were swapped.  And with that move, I combined the school room and the toy room…and also my “office” and an extra bed.  It’s taking a multi-purpose room to a…

We really kicked off our studies of the 5 senses this week!  I chose to start with touch. First we made a touchy/feely hand.  I wanted to get 5 textures that I could easily cut and glue onto paper.  I got satiny fabric, a sheet protector, sandpaper, and some leftover minky fabric.  For all of…

Royal is 29.5 months We went ahead and did B again this week since last week was such a bust.  Royal actually did something with most of the sheets from the B is for Ball tot printables at 1+1+1=1 but I only got pictures of him working on this one (2 separate times!).  Sometimes he…
