Summer School!

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!

H was Hat day. Silly kids!

I is for Igloos! NayNay and FeFe loved making their penguin houses!

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!

M is for Me! We talked all about who they are and how they are so special. Then they colored an outline of themselves!

And last but not least, Z day we went to the zoo! NayNay couldn't wait for the sharks!
It was super scary!
They were so excited to be done with all the crazy! Yeah! One summer over, many more to prepare for! Good job NayNay and FeFe! You are amazing kids! I love you!
