Pics from the week

We started out the day making word caterpillars, 

an idea I saw from Pinterest here.  

These are some -at family words -

the ones Em is most comfortable reading

right now.

 It would've looked prettier had I written the words,

but I want to give her as much

writing practice as possible.

 Eliz is still learning how to spell her 

very, very long name.  ;-)

 Blend ladder phonics practice

from our MFW curriculum.

 

 Fun animal patterning practice for Eliz.

 Swinging from the gymnastics bar today

at a make-up class, since we missed class yesterday.

 Gotta love the dollar spot at Target!

 Em is really such a gifted artist.

Sounds like I am giving my

4 year old airs, I know, but

I really do marvel at her keen

sense of proportion, line, and color.

 So while Em was at ballet class,

Eliz and stroll next door to Giant

for some one-on-one time.

I found some Air-Dry-Clay there!

So we made clay things all afternoon.

They LOVED it!

No pics of them doing it, sorry, b/c

my hands were covered in clay as well.  ;-)

It brought back a lot of memories of high school

when I took several ceramics classes.

Ahhh, those were the days!

Once these are dry, we're gonna paint them.

 And I'll end with these bubble blowing pics.

It was SUCH a beautiful day today!

 You really can smell spring in the air

on a day like today.

It was lovely out.

 

Happy Ash Wednesday!
