This summer I needed something to keep me sane while the kids had oodles (is that a word?) of free time. Structure is the key for my kids. Keeps them calm. So every Tuesday and Thursday we would have school. We did circle time highlighting one letter a day, sang songs, danced, had crafts, and much more. The kids loved it and I loved the sense of accomplishment it gave me! Here are a few highlights from the summer!
D day was "Dad day!". The kids each chose a rock from the backyard, cleaned it, dried it, painted it, and added eyes! It made a great Father's Day gift and both rocks are now at the office!
E was for Elephants. The kids made these great elephant masks and ran around acting like elephants all day! So fun!!
F was one of the best, and easiest days. With a number of friends we toured a local fire station! The kids loved the whole thing! They got to climb in an ambulance,
ride in the trucks,
and hang out with the cool fire fighters! They had a great time!

J is for Jello. Crazy as it sounds they LOVED painting with the jello (and their art work looked amazing) but they would not eat it. I ended up giving the whole pan of jello jigglers to Aunt Pickle. Lucky gal!
