Week 5

I cannot believe we're already into week FIVE of school!!  It's going so well and we're all having a great time.  I have to admit that I am pretty surprised it's gone so well.  We've had our share of less than stellar moments but for the most part they are having a lot of fun and I haven't sold them to China yet.  ;)

I'm hoping to get better about blogging each week so that I'm not clogging up Facebook with school pics and so our non-Facebooking family can keep up with our progress.

Sydney working on her fine motor skills *aka* trying to remove stickers from her ride-on toy.  She LOVES taking stickers off of things.  I have some stuck on a frisbee for her to pull off but this must have seemed like a better option today.

Shaving cream clouds!  They weren't so sure about using their hands at first but by the time we were finished they both needed a good rinsing.


Cottonball Clouds!  I hadn't anticipated it being so hard for them to manipulate the cottonballs without pulling them completely apart.  A little frustrating for the kids but they got the hang of it eventually.


See they were all smiles by the time we finished.  ;)



Yesterday we made "tally buddies" (thank you, Pinterest) to help learn the concept of tally marks.  These are especially helpful for my squirmy, hands on learner.


Syd wanted to check them out too. 


This guy apparently inherited his Daddy's love of numbers.  When he finished his handwriting he asked if he could do these addition problems.  haha  He definitely did not get that from me!
