Ladybugs

We have gotten into a good routine of doing our "letter books"

 first thing before actually starting school.  Here Karis isworking on hers...

 Malachi is concentrating very hard on his work. 

This day he was the most focused that he has ever been...

Here he is doing a "Smarty-Pants Dance" because

he did the whole page by himself, without help and more importantly, without whining!

More number recognition in math...

a little practice with a clock...

We used some dried black beans to put spots on our ladybugs...

Ordinal number practice...

Which cup is the ladybug under.. first, second, or third?

We made letter L lollipops using sugar cookie mix in a bag.

The dough proved to be quite difficult to handle, but we did our best...

Putting the sticks in...

Frosting and sprinkles, of course!

Yummy! Yummy!

Discovering things that start with the letter L...

We used our fingerprints to make the lowercase letter l.

Then we turned our fingerprints into ladybugs.

Karis did her own thing...

We also traced a large leaf pattern,

wrote the word leaf, and colored our leaves.

But, the best part of the week was our snow day!
Asher wasn't quite sure about walking in snow.

            We of course ate the snow..

          and threw snowballs.

Malachi "helped" Daddy make a snowman,

but his help lasted about one minute.

Daddy did a great job!

There's nothing like a beautiful calming snow to remind us of His grace that covers all things.

Only by that unending grace, have we made it through another week!
