Our story of loving and learning at home...

"Let them be little, 'cause they're only that way for a while.  Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day.  Let them cry, let them giggle; let them sleep in the middle, oh, let them be little."
  - Written and Sung by Billy Dean

We read The story of the Fighting Kings for the number 3.  Audrey drew a picture to represent the story.  She also made the number 3 out of beeswax to go with her 1 and 2.  It is so wonderful how much Audrey looks forward to listening to our math stories.  She is always asking when we will read the next one!

For the letter E, we read The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies.  Mr. McGregor sees the bunnies ears sticking out of the grass.  It is in the ears where we found our shape and sound of the E.  Later, we made some bunny ears for Audrey and Ethan to wear on their heads to wear, pretend, and play.

Ethan saw this singing hamburger birthday card at Target a while back. Ever since, he has loved pushing the button to make the hamburger sing every time we are at Target. Audrey really wanted to get the card for him for his birthday. That was the best idea because Ethan absolutely loved it!

Happy birthday, dear Ethan! Happy birthday to you!

For Baking Day, we made stained glass heart cookies.  This was one of Audrey's "must do" activities for Valentine's Day.  We used one of our favorite sugar cookie recipes, cut them into hearts, cut smaller hearts in the center, and put Jolly Ranchers in the centers to melt.  Audrey loved the "rainbow look" of the melted Jolly Ranchers.
