Earth Day - Homeschool Preschool Style

Tuesday was Earth Day and it was filled with fun activities! I'd say this was probably one of the most organized homeschool preschool days we've had yet (we're gearing up to really go at it in Sept). We went to the park and talked about our planet (listing off places/things that make up Earth like mountains, trees, the ocean, animals,etc).



Carter made an Earth paper mosaic. He glued every piece on himself! We discussed how the blue paper was like water and the green was the grass.


Later in the afternoon my mom and sister came over and we all headed back outside for some bark rubbing. I'd done leaf rubbing as a child, but never bark. We all enjoyed ourselves so this is something I know we'll do again.



Last, but not least I printed out some tracing sheets. We focused on the letter 'R' for recycle and reuse.

Carter and I had a lot of fun and this has definitely got me excited for when we officially start homeschool preschool!

Weekly Roundup 3/31-4/6

This week was a little difficult for me because on Thursday I had my uterine biopsy. I spent most of the week either extremely trepidatious or attempting to calm said nerves. Madison was still on spring break so she spent the week at our house working on her collection for her school's fashion show (which is this Saturday). It was nice to have her here to keep me distracted and go with me to my appointment. The biopsy wasn't as bad as I expected and now I'm playing the waiting game for the results (hoping to get them the end of this week or beginning of next). Undoubtedly, it's been a strange time for me but I'm hanging in there thanks to those who care about me.


While I was at my biopsy Carter made these beautiful pictures with Grammy. All you need is shaving cream and food coloring!

A rare, but much needed nap

One of the things that brought a smile to my face this week was playing dress up with old wigs I found while cleaning out my closet. How cute is Carter in this pink one??!!

I'm hoping to start blogging a little more, but I haven't been able to find the time. Maybe this week will be different...
