Cooking 101

It seems like my kiddos really love cooking activities, I think we are just going to make smoothies once a week because they enjoy it so much! Today we made a tropical one, that turned out pink. We added strawberry yogurt, small cups of pineapple, peaches, mangoes and strawberries. The only drawback is they are all terrified of the blender, thankfully it only takes a couple of minutes to blend.

My little Smarties

The kids have been really engaged this week in learning our Zoo Phonics ABC letters and doing puzzles.We also have been playing so many first games and doing many different fine motor puzzles. I'm going to have to rotate another set for next week since they've mastered them all!

My Mom Sherry, came in on Tuesday and introduced to me and the children six letters. There is Ally the Alligator, B for Bubba Bear, M for Missy the Mouse, W is for Willy the Weasel, L is for Lizzie the Lizard and H is for Honey the Horse. They have picked these up so quickly that next week we will have a review on these six and introduce another six letters. They are fun for learning because not only do we work on the sounds of the letters but we get to do fun actions as well. I will also post the letters that we have worked on, so you can too check them out!

Thanks to all of you parents I'm so happy you all bought water proof mittens for your kids. They are the best mittens and for how many times they find wet spots it really helps keep their hands warm. Now, I just need to get some for myself! I love taking my kids out in the snow, it may take some time getting bundled up for even for 15 minutes of play it's worth every minute!

fyi.. I'm going to stop taking so many pictures on my iphone I realized now that my camera takes much better pictures so you won't get that many pictures throughout the day on the daily connect however that means since I still take overloads of pictures, you'll be getting more hard copy pictures in your child's folders. 

Our two oldest are doing a great job helping me get everyone's coats unzipped when we come inside and apparently when you lay down it's even tougher getting up...so what's the point..

Adventures in Learning

Yes, sometimes I come up with random activities on the spot. This weekend I will include a lesson plan on here, but here are just some unplanned activities that we had fun doing this week...

Cooking is a messy, delicious and sometimes time-consuming activity, especially when done with a little ones.Cooking with kids is not only fun, but also a valuable learning experience. Cooking engages all senses, namely seeing, smelling, hearing, touching and tasting.We started off using a recipe but then just did our own thing, surprisingly it turned out quite delicious. 

I love taking my kids to the park, however I do need to invest in a wagon soon. I had to carry the littlest one the whole way there because we are quite stable walking in snow boots. Please don't forget snow boots and snow pants. Yes, I know there's no snow out but we tend to sit in puddles so snowpants help us stay dry! Thanks! Go figure as soon as we made it to the park it started down pouring rain.

Artic Activities

Water beads are just about the coolest activity supply known to man. These are little beads of heaven and they are fantastic for kids to play with, I even can't stay away from them. We painted with frozen water beads today and oh my goodness – talk about turning your world upside down! 

We have a new friend that has joined us! Please welcome Belle!
