Mammals Day 1

We did our usual warm up stuff, our book for our new letter, our path, writing our letter and then our new number, counting and writing.

For our topic, we talked about mammals.  We read a book from the library about mammals and talked about what makes a mammal.  We looked at pictures of animals and tried to determine if it was a mammal or not.  (This is really hard for a 3 year old).  haha

We then made marshmallow mammals!  :) Idea found here.  She enjoyed this, though I'm not sure if she enjoyed making the mammals or eating the marshmallows more.  Haha

(Can you tell what they are??  haha)

Birds Day 2

I know it has been awhile.  This past month has been crazy busy.  It seems like every one of us was sick at some point and then there have been appointments and out of towns and warm weather...  So school has been on the wayside.  I guess you can say I took a long spring break.  Haha.

We did finish up birds a few weeks ago.

We started with writing her name (tracing it), matching upper and lower case letters using this site,

then our letter building puzzle (she LOVES this and asks to do it just about every day.  And even though she has lost half the pieces, they are easy to replace!!).

For numbers practice, she rolled 2 dice and counted/added them up.  Then we flipped over the card showing the total of the dice until we had done them all.  (Idea found here.)

She then decided to be done with school for the day, so we didn't do the other bird activities I had planned.

We were going to dissolve an egg in vinegar so we could see what an egg looks like on the inside (it takes a week+ so be prepared to wait to see the outcome!)  You can find this online in a hundred different places, but here is one with step by step instructions.

We were then going to make bird's nests using stuff we have around the house based on this activity.  I also had a bird's nest book to go with it. We read the book, but that was it.  And that's fine by me!
