O Wrap-Up

Here is a snapshot of some of the O activities that we had fun with throughout the week.

Ethan and Hannah played with there letter box items.

Hannah practiced throwing her bean bag as high as she could.

We glued cheerios onto an octopus.

Ethan did not get it at all.

Really all they wanted to do was eat them.  Surprised? No

This is Hannah's finished octopus.  The cheerios on the face are his eyebrows.

We played the owl letter matching game.  Ethan really liked matching the letters.

We made orange O's with orange dot markers.

Ethan dotted.

Hannah covered her O picture.

 Our final project was to make an owl.  Yesterday we started by painting a big piece of paper brown.  

This was their favorite activity of the week

We finished up our owl today and then hung him from the fan  in the kitchen.

Letter G wrap up

I can't believe we finished.  We did quite a few different things for the letter G, I think all of us (including Ethan) enjoyed the activities.  It was a lot of fun seeing Ethan get involved and playing with Hannah and I.  G took extra long but thats okay, I really am looking forward to Letter H.  Here is a look back at G:

Ethan getting right into it.

We did tow types of play dough fun.  Both super easy to set up and a blast for my play dough loving girl.

Gardening play dough.

Hannah also played with the g cookie cutter.

We had a great lunch with GG

We sponge stamped grapes.

We collaged the letter G.

We matched colored pom poms to the matching colored goat. (The goat printable is from Tot school printables).

Hannah and Ethan enjoyed the green sensory salad.

 Finally, yesterday we concluded with a game of golf.  I found this set at the dollar store (yeah).  I also took some plastic cups leftover from the last birthday party and staked them down with tent pegs.  Then we tried to knock the balls into the cups.

Getting ready for his tee time.

Hannah was Ethan's Caddy.

Go Hannah.

They may have confused golf and hockey.

Hole in one.

Onto the letter H.

Bumps, Lumps, and Grapes

Today was one those days that FELT so long.  It probably had to do with being up so early. This morning Andrew and I took Ethan to Children's Hospital to see an ophthalmologist.  He has a lump beside his eye and he needed it looked at.  Our appointment was originally scheduled for January but we were on the cancellation list (yeah).
According to the Doctor it is a:

Periorbital dermoid cyst

Dermoid cysts can appear in young children, often near the lateral aspect of the eyebrow (right part of the right eyebrow or left part of the left eyebrow). They often have a rubbery feel. These are sometimes watched and sometimes excised. An inflammatory reaction can occur if the dermoid cyst is disrupted.

She wants it removed, so we see a surgeon in November, unless it gets noticeable bigger, then we go sooner.

Right eye shows it well.

After nap time (which Ethan did not participate in), Hannah and I did a few activities together. First, we sponge painted some grapes (for our g activities).  I drew some leaves and stems on a piece of card stock, cut some sponges into circles, and got out our purple paint. (I saw this activity here on A Little Learning for Two.)

The setup.

Hannah's face when she saw the paint.

She liked sucking up the paint with the sponge.

Making grapes.

Mommy's grapes.

Hannah and her finished grapes, I think she may have eaten some because her chin is purple.

Next, we played with a sponge and some water. (I saw this idea on The Wonder Years).  The idea is to transfer water from one dish to the other.

The set up.

She let the sponge suck up water from the first bowl.

Then she squeezed the water into the second.

Finally, she poured the water on the tray and practiced cleaning it up.

I have had this idea for a while.  Each week I will ask Hannah to draw me a picture and then narrate what she draws so I can write it down.  It will be fun to see the progression of her drawing skills.  She has just recently started describing what she draws so I know I could start.

Who does not LOVE school supplies.  

Her first drawing.  She drew a flake and a circle.  I'm not sure what she meant by a flake but I wrote it down anyway.


Now on to the weekend.

Letter F wrap-up

Were off to visit Andrew`s parents and with that the Letter F is done.  We had lots of fun the last week and here is a little wrap up of what we did for the letter F.

Letter F box

Hannah thinks its a present every time she opens it.

This is her thinking face as she decided that the football and  football cookie cutter  are the same.

Hannah the teacher.

We found some feathers.

Saw this cute little guy at camp.

Had a fish snack (played with a fish snack)

We painted on foil. (Inspired by You`ll Thank me One Day)

Ethan joined in and painted on foil too (than he ate it).

We painted our feet outlines.

Then used them to make a fish scene.

Matched farm animals to pictures.

When we get back we will start Letter G.
