S week

I love S week! There's so many fun things to do!

Saturday she started swim classes.

Tuesday was fun in the sun day.
We had snack, in a swimsuit and side ponytail while we watched Blue's Clues Snack Time.

Then we had a "swimming" party (the house is our pool) and sang "Mr. Sun".

And after some school work, we sang some songs.

Wednesday was snow day.
We dressed up in snow suits, hats, gloves and scarfs.


During our school work time, Alison made a snowman with cottonballs and shaving cream.


Then we had a snowball fight and made snow angels.

*And I realized why preschools are so expensive-because sometimes it's so much easier pay someone to coordinate and clean up all of these activities. I saved a big bag of packing peanuts from Christmas for this activity...it was lots of fun, but highly dangerous for babies and cats and a huge pain in the rear to clean up.

Then we made edible snowballs.


They were yummy and easy to make, but very rich and messy.


Thursday was store day:

Alison also started her new class at the Y this day. It's a gym class where she's learning the importance of exercise and nutrition. She doesn't like sweating though because "princesses don't sweat"...her teachers tried to convince her that she was just glistening.

We also learned about spheres,
(shown by the classic princess pose)

and practiced sorting using the laundry.

We read books about spring, St. Patrick's Day and snow.
Alison was able to master writing S this week-that's the only letter in her name that she's struggled with.
Verse of the week: Exodus 20:8
'Remember the Sabboth day, to keep it holy'
Bible stories: the good Samaritan, Samson, Sarah and we read some about selfishness.
We've started working on the 10 commandments and focused on #8: Don't steal.
