A is for Apple

The girls and I are going to be having School time about four times a week for about 30 minutes. I'm going to pick a theme and come up with activities to go with it. I got most of my things this week from First-School it is a really neat site with letter tracing pages and tons of coloring pages, crafts ideas, and even recipe ideas. It has been really helpful in getting me motivated and going and the girls seem to be learning things and enjoying it.

We have been talking about what colors apples are and why they are healthy for us and where they come from and we have been talking about and writing the letter A. And we have been learning about what other things are healthy for us.

Our apple stamp and leaf picture.

Our Cooking experiment with apples.

Our coloring pages and worksheets.

We also made a grocery list for mom. I printed out a bunch of pictures of healthy food and unhealthy food and they had to pick the healthy ones out to make our grocery list and then we went to the store with their pictures and they helped pick out the healthy groceries.

Things we learned:

Cloe: When we were going outside in the rain we put our coats on and we were heading out and Cloe said, "You need to rip (zip) me up and keep my body healthy." Also, I asked her why are apples healthy for us, "Vitamins." I didn't really know if they were paying attention.

Dakota: When reviewing what we learned to daddy I asked what does the letter A say (Fulling expecting Cloe to answer) and Dakota says, "aaaa."
