The letter A, The color Red, & The shape Circle.....

After 3 days of preschool, I decided to end the day with some play time outside. Ok, MAYBE I made them dig dirt around the foundation of the home, but they thought it was fun! :)








Here they are after 3 days of intense pre-schooling. They are proudly showing some of their art projects and yummy snack choices.








Those were our first 3 things we tried to identify and remember in our first 3 days of preschool this past week (see above title). At the end of day 1, Austin was the only one who could remember what letter we were learning, but they all could remember the shape and color. At the end of day 2, only Elizabeth could remember the letter. And at the end of day 3, only Elizabeth and John could remember the letter. Don't know what happened to Austin the last 2 days. We did may coloring activities to reinforce shapes and color. We looked at books and magazines and toys to help identify all 3. We read Raggedy Ann & A Raggedy Andy in the Deep Deep Woods (a collection of short stories). We sang a lot, they danced a lot, we played listening games. Each day we had snacks that were red: apples, peppers, jello, red pop (thank you miss Karen!). All in all they all seemed to have fun and look forward to the next time. Last night Austin asked me "when are we going to play school again?" There is so much I want to do, but it looks like they will set the pace and amount we tackle. Looking forward to next week. Thank you Karen for suggesting I try it, it got me off my lazy duff!
