No Internet....again

It has been awhile since I have posted due to a lack of Internet....again. But I think that we finally got it fixed and I am ready to roll again. It has been about two weeks without the connection but it felt like a month. The last week of January, I taught English at a T elementary school. That was an experience in itself. The kids had a two week winter break and there was a winter English camp that needed teachers. I figured it was only temporary but I tell you, it was a long week. We are back to school this week and I am happy to be home with the kids again. This is what we have been doing so far...

I is for inch worm...I found this game on the Internet. It is reinforcing number recognition. She counts the holes in the leaves and matches the inch worm with the correct number to the leaf. I printed this off and laminated it so we can use it again.

We classified animals. She separated animals into categories - what lives in the ocean, on the farm, and in the zoo. We are finishing up our pond unit and will be moving on to the zoo.

Here it is finished. Not sure where I found it but I definitely found it on the Internet.

We read Inch by Inch written by Leo Lionni. We then measured items with an "inch" ruler. This book was cute and it introduced measurement to J. She had fun measuring things...

Here she is measuring Kaleb. He doesn't seem to mind though.

He loves her. She can do just about anything and he smiles or laughs at her.

Measuring the chair...

 Measuring our Chicka tree. Uh..she dressed herself today, in case you were wondering. She calls her ballerina skirt-her princess skirt. I had to fight with her to put on her tights since it is still kinda cold here and I am fighting a cold (due to my week with the T kids). She informed me that princesses don't wear tights but I promptly informed her that this princess does and unless she put them on, she was going to lose her princess skirt. She put them on, as you can see.

I is for Iguana. We made an iguana pocket and colored I word cards to put in it. This idea came from here. This website has so many things to do. I can usually find plenty to do there.

What did Kaleb learn this week? Well, he ate his first carrots...needless to say, he enjoyed them on his fist and shirt more than on the spoon.

He started his exercising in his Johnny Jump Up. I think he likes the freedom he has to move around and around. He hasn't got the hang of jumping yet, but he will. He has been kicking his legs more so it is only a matter of time.

This is his four month old picture that Keke took for me. Keke is the family photographer and she seems to get the good family pictures .

One last cute picture....I couldn't resist. Again, Keke prevailed. J has been asking for a baby sister...haha. She said she would like a baby brother, which she already has, and a baby sister. She loves Kaleb tremendously and is a big help. He loves her as well.
