Letter K

TK's best attempt at making the letter K with his body.

January was unseasonably warm, so we actually got to go out and fly kites to go along with our Letter K unit!

In a take from the 'Polar Express' & an idea from Confessions of a Homeschooler, we dropped B at Nana & Papa's, loaded the minivan with hot cocoa and popcorn, turned up the Christmas music, and headed out to see the lights. TK thought it was the best thing when he found the golden ticket under his pillow (any time he gets out of going to bed, it's a good thing). He ran to the garage and had his ticket 'punched', and away we went.

Letter J: Jellybeans & Jesus

Because the letter J fell right around Christmas, we did 2 letter 'J's. One with Jellybeans (which we all enjoyed!) and one with baby Jesus. Here you can see TK doing his graphing, with his LEGO advent calendar in the background.

"We Made Beer"

Teaching pre-schoolers is never dull!

Yesterday's Sunday school lesson was about Jesus' first miracle. He turned water into wine. So to demonstrate this to 3 year olds, I had each of them dump kool-aid powder into their cups of water. It turned bright red, and then they drank it with their pretzels for snack. One little boy didn't really seem to want his. I figured it was because he didn't eat sweet stuff...

...after Sunday school, his dad asked what they had learned and he responded, "We made beer". Maybe that's why he didn't want to drink it!
