Weather and Spring

Happy Easter!
The children enjoyed using contact paper to create 
the "stained glass" crosses.
John 14:6

 
We decided to write books entitled "Stormy Weather".
Most of us have achieved success with designing a
beginning. middle, and end to a story.
These books are receiving lots of applause at Author's Chair!

 I saw Crayola's new marketing scheme at the store and could not resist;
the girls received Glitterati and the boys were given Monster crayons!

 This photograph is of the pencil grip chart from Bob Jones K5 Beginnings curriculum.
Please check your child's grip.
Resting the pencil on Tall Man can be challenging.
If your child continually needs to stand to write, this indicates that fine motor skills need to be strengthened in the wrist and hand.  :-)

Dr. Seuss and Round-Up Recap

Silly hats, socks, and faces were part of our Seussical celebration!




Egg Science
We soaked eggs in three liquids: Coca-Cola, milk, and water.
Using the scientific method, we formed a hypothesis regarding the color of each egg shell.
Then, we recorded our observations!

During Round-Up week. a hula hoop served as a lasso!
We painted sunsets, met Cowboy George, and learned the purposes for cowboy gear.
Cotton candy is a special rodeo treat; yummy!
