Seasons: Spring

Last week I kinda had a burn out.  It's amazing how going from working full time to part time and I feel like I am busier now.  I shouldn't complain because I know there are tons of amazing moms who work full time and still make it through the day.  I know it's hard, because I've been there.  But lately I have felt bogged down with... stuff.

Anyhow, last week we really only did one full day of school (besides regular preschool.  That's what is pulling on my motivation...).  And, I didn't take any pictures.  Lame, I know.  So I'll at least let you know what we did and give you the links so you can do it yourself!

Tuesday:  Warm-up for letter K.
Letter book.
Writing our letter of the week.
Letter path (we used the stamps again, she loves using stamps).

Then we practiced counting and writing the number 11.

Then on to our seasons stuff.  We read a book about Spring.  I didn't love it, it was mostly about experiments and things you can do in the spring time.  Very wordy and not super explanatory about what happens in the spring time, just what you can do.  Anyhow, we mostly used the pictures to talk about what to expect during the spring time, as well as looking outside and seeing what changes we could see.  No leaves yet, but our plants are going quite well from when we planted them a few weeks ago.  :)

We then used paint and markers to make a thumb print flower.  (Of course, ours ended up with thumb prints all over it, but hey, I was just impressed she was willing to get her hands dirty to do it.  Haha).

Then we made paper towel butterflies.  This was super fun.  I put some water/food coloring in cups, then folded up a paper towel into sixteenths.  Brooklyn got to dip each corner into different colors, the we opened them up and put them outside to dry.  The next day we got some pipe cleaners and scrunched up the paper towel and twisted the pipe cleaner to make the body/antennae.  So cute!
