Last week I set up the first few activities for ED. I've been working to get the homeschool room setup to make it easier and more routine for me to setup each day/week for ED's preschool.
We're easing into school -- so none of these pictures will be too much of a surprise, but one thing I did last week was to re-introduce and reinforce the
routine of
*putting out a blanket,
*carrying the activity tray over with two hands
*setting up and completing the activity
*putting the activity back into the tray and returning the tray to the proper place
*folding the blanket
*putting the blanket away
I want to make sure she has follow-through from the beginning of the activity to the end. Sounds easy, but I didn't do a good job of teaching ED this last year. New beginnings!
 |
| With no official school for DD and LD, DD has been very keen to try and participate in all of ED's activities. |
 |
| Using a hole punch. This was the only picture where you could tell what she was doing since most pictures she had her hand over the hole-puncher! |
 |
| Later in the week I switched the rice activity to a cup measure (white) and 1/4 cup and 1/3 cup. They had to figure out how many orange (or blue) cups would fill up the one-cup measure. |
In the next few days I'll show you our setup in a bit more detail. I'll also explain my over-all plans for ED's preschool schedule this fall.
And now changing subjects... Last week we went to a local farm to pick fruit.
 |
| Here the girls are picking peaches. We loved this wonderful recipe for Southern Peach Cobbler. In fact it was so popular with the kids and our friends that I made it twice (with help from the kids, of course!) |
 |
| Our very close family friends have just moved from central Australia to a house not ten minutes from us. We've been friends since the kids were infants. LD and S skipped off ahead of us to hunt for the blackberries. Cute! |
 |
| We also picked blackberries. They were quite tart, but made a wonderful blackberry jam. Yum! |
