Preschool fun

I decided to do preschool at home with Ellie this year. Albion is too far away to really make it worth driving her to school twice a week. I decided that it would be better to have someone else in the class as well, so we invited Ellie's friend, Jettah, to join us once a week. When she got here on the first day, they were wearing almost the same outfit!
We are working on an different alphabet letter for two weeks at a time. We started with "A" for apples. The girls got to make necklaces out of Apple Jack cereal and they loved that!
We have also done some work on colors; sometimes even adventuring into finger painting! This time we painted with chocolate pudding...probably not something we will do again!
We've been practicing our cutting. It has taken awhile to get the hang of how to hold both the paper and the scissors, but the girls are both doing well.
When we studied the letter P, we had a princess playdate. The girls both ended up dressing up like Sleeping Besuty! They cut some princess papers, practiced writing like princesses and did a princess puzzle. We're having so much fun doing our letter activities...sometimes I can't even sleep at night because I'm dreaming up more stuff for them to do!
