Letter 'G'



Yesterday we focused on the letter G. Emma and Ellie colored the letter 'G' for "grapes." I then read them Goldlilocks and the Three Bears. Emma and Ellie love books more than anything-and I love that cause it's fun for me to get to take that time each day and read to them, acting out the parts with different voices, and actually finding two people that think I'm funny. LOL. We went to my grandpa's house in Taylorsville a couple of weeks ago and Emma, Grandpa Sampson, and I collected accorns. We then had peaches that night and as we went to throw away the pits, I had this idea. It's too late to really plant flowers because it's getting colder, and I don't have money now to buy bulbs, so Emma, Ellie and I planted the seeds/pits that we had collected....trying to tie in that the letter 'G' was for garden. I showed Emma how you plant something and then we talked about how to care for a plant. She is so excited and every time we go outside she has to run over and see if her tree is there. =0) Afterwards, we went on a walk and pointed out the letter 'G' items and when we got back, of course, we had to go check out our trees. It's going to be a looooong winter. We then ended the preschool with an attempt to still potty train Emma, but sitting on the toilet. Ellie is all about this and loves to participate (I am just glad that at Emma's doctor's appointment, the doctor had a talk with Emma about going 'poop' and 'peepee' on the toilet....hopefully it works).

Holli, you & Andrey have such BEAUTIFUL GIRLS! :) That is so sweet how Ellie plays with her baby dolls & kisses them. Aubrey does the same thing with her dolls and Barbies. Paxton, on the other hand, drags Aubrey's dolls around by their feet & chews on their hair! Boys. . . . :)
