Color Box

I actually had this post ready before my long "inservice" weekend (no, really, we are learning about the oceans soon and I needed to do some up in depth prep work!) but forgot to publish the post.  We are back in the groove tomorrow, but here is what we were up to last week...

I have started a new program called All About Spelling - I plan to write about it more in depth soon, but so far, I love it!  Here, Zoe is repeating words while moving tiles for the beginning, middle, and ending sounds.  It is a visual program, and the early lessons are very easy for her - both of these are big in my book.  She looks bored, but she really enjoyed it and was having fun with it.


 Two cute ballerinas ready for dance and art class - we studied early Picasso today, but I didn't get a picture of the art work.

It's hard for the picture to do the color and light sensory bin justice, if I do say so myself.  There are slinkies, multi-colored rice, feathers, balls, erasers, glass beads (money, of course), kaleidoscopes, and more.  We sort by color, make rainbow patterns, talk about light and how it changes, and just run our hands through the rice. It's therapeutic.  Even our babysitter loved it!
