There are different versions of The Little Red Hen. The version I picked was the one about making bread. We made bread before we made the pizzas but I do not have a picture of the bread making.
We made Mini Muffin Pizzas for lunch. They were a hit, which is very difficult in my house. The recipe came from Familygo.com. Instead of making the pizza sauce recipe I just used Delallo Pizza sauce, it was very good.

Yumm!

Geography- Daddy is very good at Geography so I let him show Caden a few things on the map.

• What state and country we live in.
• North, South, East, and West.
  
• Were Santa lives and the penguins (so north and south pole).
  
• The equator.
• Then Caden colored the United States of America map. Daddy told him what each state was while he colored it. I am not sure Caden understood any of what Daddy taught him but they seemed to have a good time. Caden answered his questions too, which made Daddy very happy!!!
• Oh, Caden did not write his name. Daddy wrote it then Caden traced it.
  

                                                                                                              Math- 

We have been playing with a Rhyming puzzle this week.  He has not got the hang of rhyming yet but he defiantly knows how to put a puzzle together.  He tries to spell the word out on the puzzle cards by sliding his finger across the word...too cute!

I made these up for Caden. In our Raising Rock Stars Lesson we are talking about Jesus Death on the Cross (I will post on Tues.) So I decided to spell out Jesus and have him match the letters.

I made another one with the word green since he enjoyed it so much.  I wrote the word Jesus on the Jesus picture so I do not have that printable but made a printable for green. 

Science- We talked about magnets. I have these little circle magnets that we went around the house with to see what they stuck to.

Math- Sorting worms.  I got the worm lures from Walmart for $5 (4 different colors and about 10-15 worms in each color).

Math- This week we have been talking about Diamonds so I used some kite printables from 1+1+1.  Caden cut them out by himself and matched the correct colored word with the correct colored triangle.

More kites...Caden put them in order from largest to smallest.  Then he matched kites.

My husband's work was getting rid of their dry erase boards at so snagged one.  I can't believe it...it fit perfect in the school room (I will be posting more of our school room transformation soon).  The kids have had so much writing on it.  So this morning I decided to play a guessing game with Caden.  I drew a picture and he had to guess what I drew.  Then I wrote the word and he traced it, and then got to erase it after he was done.  He was so proud of himself...and look how focused he is writing!lol

We also read another version of The Little Red Hen.   This version talked about making a cake.  So we made cupcakes.  I do not have a picture.  I also do not have a picture of the kids at the zoo yesterday.  We got to pet a hen.  Perfect timing since we were reading about one!!!

Rush Hour Jr.

I went to a garage sale last weekend found a table for Hannah and I also found the game Rush Hour Jr. for Caden. It cost $1. Perfect!!!!! He loves lining up the cars and we also worked on making the cars look like the picture. He needed some help but he did pretty good.

Tot School with Just Hannah

Hannah is 21 1/2 months old

This week in Tot School we did random things. In this picture we played with the LeapFrog Letters. Hannah is saying b for ba.

Yeah!!!! We went garage sale shopping in look for a table for Hannah...and can you believe we found one. We got it for $20 along with a lot of board games.

We got this from 1+1+1 Spring pack. Hannah enjoyed putting together the kitten.

Matching Mama's and their babies. Got it from Spring Tot pack too.

Over in the Meadow- Mommy School Routine Presentation

Here is my Mommy School Routine Presentation for Over in the Meadow. I did not get to Geography and PE Time this week. We have been spending a lot of time outside.

Cute Spring Craft

We did this cute spring craft at our library and I thought I would share. Cut the portion out of the paper plate you see in the picture. Then glue the cut piece of the plate on the bottom of the plate. You only put glue on the wavy part of the plate so it makes a pocket for the flowers to be glued into.

Enjoy!

Over in the Meadow-Counting Animals and Have You Ever Been Camping?

Have you ever been camping? I posted the questions on the easel and printed out the tents, colored them and put our names on them. I picked up a tent with one of our names on it and asked who's name it was and then asked him the questions. He then put it under yes or no. Then we added the columns up.
Counting Animals- I made 8 squares on a piece of paper and numbered them. Caden was to put the correct amount of animals stickers in each square.

Over in the Meadow- Sentece Starters

Our lesson today from The Itty-Bitty Bookworm was Sentence Starters. I do not have a picture for this one but it was pretty funny!

We started off with...(Caden's words are in blue)

If I were a turtle I would....swim in the water.
If I were a fish I would...swim real high and bump your head.
bird...have wings and say Ohhhh and bump your head.
muskrat...go to the map.
bee...land on the map.
crow...bump my head on the ground and spin and can't find my Mom.
cricket...bump my head and find my house and can't find Lightning McQueen.
lizard...hide and can't find my Mom.

Boy, was he being silly! He was circling around the room and having a ball coming up with all this stuff!

Over in the Meadow-Animal Homes

I have decided to graduate Caden to Preschool Corner!! Hannah will be posted as Tot School.

Calendar Time- I got this pointer from Mardels last weekend and Caden has been obsessed with it. I love it too because it helps he understand what number he is actually counting and one to one correspondence.
Animal Homes- We are reading Over in the Meadow and our lesson from The Itty-Bitty Bookworm was to print out the animals homes and the animals. Caden had to figure out what animal belonged to what home. I had him look through the book to figure it out.
Then I got him some Lincoln Logs and we built a log cabin together. I also brought out all his animals and his farm.
