Letter A, again! We are just jumping around, not following any particular order anymore. We were using a curriculum but decided just to do our own thing. We are using the animal ABC printables from 1+1+1=1http://www.1plus1plus1equals1.com/AnimalABC.html and also her printables for Songs for Saplings ABChttp://www.1plus1plus1equals1.com/RaisingRockStars.html as well as many other theme related printables from all over the place. Samuel chose the letter A for this week so that is what we did and our theme for this week and next week is Noah's ark and rainbows.

Tot School (May 3)

Lots of photos this week. This was our first week of our new set up to try and keep Nathanael out of mischief while I am working with the older two. For the most part it was successful and Nathanael really enjoyed exploring all the new activities. He insists on joining Samuel whenever we are doing preschool work and so is learning his letters and numbers right along with his big brother!







His favourite activity. He played with this for a solid 20 mins the first day and then many times throughout the week.


Posting tokens into the container, another favourite


Balancing marbles on the sticky circles.
