Language Experience
Brooke and I made some Pumpkin Bread. She loves to help in the kitchen and it is a great time to talk with her and review lots of vocabulary. We even sing songs like, "This is the way we make the bread, make the bread, make the bread. This is the way we make the bread so early in the morning."

Another great vocabulary Experience was Mother's Day. We attended the Lowe's Build and Grow workshop where the kids made planters. We had to follow directions as we worked and then choose a plant we put in the boxes at home.

A Mother's Day breakfast in bed was a special start to the day! Daddy let each child chose an item for breakfast. Jake chose pancakes with strawberries, Kate chose tortilla chips with whip cream (actually kinda good) and Brooke chose a peanut butter and jelly sandwich! It was a wonderful breakfast


Numbers

We have these great number ducks from Discount School Supply. We put them in the pool and Brooke picked out one at a time. We counted the raindrops on the back of the duck and then checked the bottom to see if we counted correctly.

We got a great idea of a Shape Search with rectangles, circles and ovals....both girls loved finding the shapes in our house and really surprised me with how well they did!
