Week Reveiw

We merged our last two weeks into one set of workboxes. I loved that we could make that switch without feeling like I failed. We had two full weeks spent enjoying the beautiful weather and spending time with family.


Monday was about recognizing the letter "E". Bee mostly wanted to enjoy playing with the gems. Not paying attention to the "E". Oh well . We will try this another time. We talked about "E" and I helped him put some gems on the letter. Something may have stuck.

My Baby boy is extremely focused when he wants to be. Especially when stickers are involved. We are still in a very linear stage as you can see by a few pictures below. Bee lines things up very straight and is quite particular. If the stickers don't end up where he wants then he will try and remove them to stick to a better spot. Dedicated.

  

 

 Thursday is Bee's swimming day which also means its Aunty Becka day. Bee is getting much more confident in the water. He is much better at kicking and splashing. His bubbles are even improving. Gross motor skills check! When we got back home Aunty helped Bee and Sweets with their shapes. We are blest to have her support our home school efforts. Sweets can't match up shapes yet but she sure is constantly trying to get the shapes into their slots. She is so determined. It makes my heart happy to watch her learn and also attempt to catch up to Bee's ability. 

 

 The last few days of the week I didn't even attempt Tot School. I was too busy packing for our trip down to the Cabin!!

 

 

We didn't go down to play but to work and have Grandpa read stories of course.

 Bee learned some life skills! Every boy needs to know how to sweep. He also helped me haul sticks, wash windows and other various tasks. He rode in the Kubota with Grandpa and Great Grandpa. We all had a great time. I am hoping that these experiences set a solid foundation for hard work, teamwork and the importance of family. We will know in twenty years if our character building activities worked. I'm hopeful that they will.

After our long weekend we jumped back into our Tot Boxes. Sponges and Spray Bottles. Bee lined them up, tossed them, jumped on them and squeezed them. Sweets couldn't let him have all the fun so she got right into the bucket of water and splashed around. He loved experimenting with the sponges. She was honestly confused by them. It was so entertaining to watch. Sweets is getting to the stage where you can see her mind working. I love it! Means we are getting closer to designating her with her own activities. They grow up so fast.


 
 
 
 

We always do a lot of reading. I found a book that have indentations that are in the shapes of letters. They introduce the concept of writing. I love it! Bee enjoyed the books but preferred to use my finger to trace the letters. Good but I would prefer if he traced the letters. Next time perhaps.
