Hannah is 14 1/2 monthsHannah loves to use the pocket chart. She usually is just pulling down what I have up there for Caden. So today I did flashcards with her. I had a stack of flashcards and I would say the flashcard and then she would put it in the pocket chart. She loved it!
I let Caden put on the glue this time. He lined the dots up so nicely.
C is for Cotton Balls
Coconut Playdough- For this lesson we were supposed to make our own playdough and add coconut extract to the recipe. I did not have any and I also did not have some of the ingredients for making playdough. So we made do and just used our own.
The next directions were to make the playdough into long thin snakes and make alphabet letters.
Adding food coloring to the alcohol
Dropping the noodles in the bowl of food coloring and alcohol
Lacing the noodles
Lacing Noodles the Letter "N"- For the letter "N" we dyed noodles with alcohol and food coloring. We let them sit and dry before lacing them on a piece of yarn. The alcohol was very strong so I would suggest using vinegar I heard you can use that too (that is what you use to dye easter eggs...right?)
I got these creation day puzzles from
here.
This is what he cut!
I wanted to see if Caden could cut on the lines. He has been cutting for about 2 months...just any paper I give to him. So I gave him this project to cut on the lines and WOW! He did great!

The Letter L for Lamb- I printed the lamb blackline from The Itty-bitty bookworm. Caden glued cotton balls on the lamb.
The Letter L- For this lesson we were supposed to use green and brown butcher paper to make a coconut tree. Hang the tree on the wall and put all the letters on the tree. Instead we used our own tree! lol
The Letter K- K is for Kangaroo. I printed out the Kangaroo blackline from the Itty-Bitty Bookworm and the kids painted the kangaroos brown.
Reading area
This is were I have the pocket chart and we discuss vocabulary words and other things. We move the lego table when necessary (Grandpa Schindler made it, he's so awesome)!
Map we got from Top Secret Adventures (Highlight Magazine)
Bigger view of playroom.
In the study is were most of Mommy School happens. Here is the table Caden's Mee-Maw got at a garage sale and said we could use it!!!! How perfect! I also have the easel in there too.
I got this shelf at Ikea and labeled all of our Mommy School supplies.
Bottom two shelf's are for the kids to get into.
This is the playroom shelf that Daddy made. This is were we keep all the kids toys.
I finally got everything organized for our Mommy School!!!! Of course I will probably move things around here and there but for the most part I have got all the necessities. I have our play room separate from our school room, above I will tell you what each picture is.
Cleaning up his mess.
Creation Day 2- On the second day God creates sky. I printed off the number 2 from
ABC Jesus Loves Me, then I drew clouds on the paper and had him paint the clouds white. We have done this lesson before but I feel like Caden didn't remember it.
Creation Day 1- On the first day God creates light. Again I got the number 1 from ABC Jesus Loves Me website and had Caden paint the number one yellow with a cotton ball.
The book we are using is called
The Children's Illustrated Bible

P is for Pajama Party- For our lesson from The Itty-Bitty Bookworm we had a Pajama party and watched a movie. Caden watched it but Hannah does sit still for 2 seconds. lol

Yesterday we made a new tunnel! Usually we connect the tunnel and the tent...well today Caden gave me a new idea to connect the square pads we use on the floor. So we connected that and made a longer tunnel and boy did he have a good time. Hannah went through it a couple of times but she was ready for dinner a little early so of course she bothered Mommy the entire time I was cooking...nothing entertained her at that point. Boy did she eat a good dinner though! :)
I got these star ice cubes from the Target $ section and put them in the freezer. Once they were frozen I put them in the Sensory Tub and they sorted them in ice cube trays.

Caden is 30 1/2 months old
The Letter K- For this lesson we were to gather wallpaper samples, I just used scrapbook paper. Cut diamond shapes from the paper. Next, cut each diamond (kite) in half. Set out all of the pieces. Then match the pieces to create "kites". Tape the 2 sides together, then tape yarn on the back of the kite.
Creation Day 1- On the first day God creates light. Again I got the number 1 from ABC Jesus Loves Me website and had Caden paint the number one yellow with a cotton ball.
Sensory Tub- I tried another sensory tub, this time I used cereal that the kids haven't been eating. It was pretty funny because they ended up eating it. It was ok because it wasn't old, it just wasn't their choice for the morning. After they got full they continued pouring and scooping.!")
