Jade's second Oceans class was today. For craft time she coloured a starfish and pasted sand on it. They almost canceled the gym class afterwards because not enough kids signed up for it but today a couple new kids showed up so gym class will continue.

Colt and I spent the morning at the early years centre. He did a good job sharing toys but was not happy at snack time when they didn't serve cereal or crackers. I think he was the only kid there who hates juice. He was excited to use a big boy cup till he realized it had grape juice in it.

This afternoon Jade worked on a couple worksheets and held her pencil correctly although she still does not find it natural to do so. Tonight we will read Ten Apples Up On Top by Dr. Seuss again.

Loving this weather

I took Jade and Colt to an Early Years Centre this morning. Since the one we were going to closed in August we've been trying to find another one to go to. I'm really enjoying this location and so are the kids. Colt did wonderful again at snack time. They served cereal with milk. Colt drank his milk out of a big kid cup and didn't spill any! For craft time Jade put stickers on a water bottle.

This afternoon we played in the backyard enjoying this amazing weather. If only it could last! After supper we walked to the park to play outside some more.

Before bedtime we started reading 10 Apples Up On Top by Dr. Seuss as this will be our theme for next week. I had planned on reading it to her, but Jade knew almost all the words and read most of it herself.

Ocean Wonders

Today was the first day of Jade's Ocean Wonders course at a local community centre. She came home with several crafts: a painting, a map of a lake, and a Jelly Fish. The teacher said she took extra time with her Jelly Fish making sure it had a lot of purple dots. After her Oceans class she had 30 minutes of gym class.

While Jade was busy learning about the oceans, Colt and I went to an early years centre to play. At snack time he sat at the table with all the kids and he was not the first one back up to play. That is a huge improvement.

This afternoon Jade and I drawed a parking lot on a piece of paper. I wrote the numbers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 in the parking spaces. Next time I will have her write the numbers in. Not sure why I didn't think of that this time! lol Then I would tell her where her car wants to park and she would put it in the correct spot. To make it more fun I let her tell me where to park the car as well. Good for practicing number recognition and you can change the numbers depending on what numbers your child is working on recognizing.
