My Favorite Quotes:

A person's a PERSON no matter how small... -Dr. Seuss

The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to THINK, than WHAT to think- rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with the thoughts of other men. - James Beattie

Tot School Week 13 &14 (LETTER G)

First some thoughts:  I combined the past two weeks of Preschool activities into one blog... I may start doing this because it makes me less stressed about getting everything posted so quickly and I have been trying to be more mindful of when I am blogging lately ( in case you don't know blogging can take up a LOT of your time if you let it!!)  I feel that I have fallen victim to this for the past few months and I am trying to make sure I am using my time wisely.  It is so much fun to read everyone's blogs and see all the great ideas that are out there... however if I am on the computer looking at blogs how often do I get to put those great ideas into effect?- Lately that answer would be not-so-much.  My Evernote (which I absolutely love by the way... ) is chock FULL of AWESOME ideas.  But I waste too much time looking for ideas and reading all the blogs out there to get to do many of these things- soooo I am reassessing my blog and looking for ways to STEP AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER!- more often.  LOL!
The past 2 weeks were dedicated to the Letter G! We were so excited because it just so happened that my girl's grandma- G.G. came to visit- what a perfect week for that, huh? Do you know what G.G. stands for? Take a guess- and let me know what you think! :)


Here are some of the fun things we did!

G is for  Green Grass (using easter grass)


Mixing Blue Marker and Yellow Marker on a coffee filter...

Add a spray bottle and soak the coffee filter... so the blue and yellow make- GREEN!



Rainbows from pipe cleaners (or the fancy name- chenille sticks- LOL!) 


Pipe Cleaner Rainbows and Rainbow Pom-pom art celebrating St. Patrick's day coming up!

This one I made up myself... because I had the tools already!  Match the colored pom-pom to the correct color in the rainbow!  The girls seemed to like this- and they turned out pretty cute!



Snack Time- GRAPE Kool-Aid and Graham Crackers
 

We read Goldilocks and the 3 Bears... here are some activities we did.
Match the bowls, chairs, beds with the correct bear.

(Yes my daughter is wearing her Jasmine costume that she wore for Halloween- but HAD to wear it today)  

Goldilocks Pattern Activity


Goldilocks Puzzle- the 3 Bears house
  

Goldlocks Counting activity-
Later, I laminated this and she LOVED doing this over and over with a dry erase marker!

And OUR FAVORITE Letter G activity this week--- Playing with GG!!  In this photo, Scarlett is actually playing Games with GG.   Lot's of G's! YAY!

Don't forget to tell me your guess for -
"What do the initials G.G. stand for in Scarlet's grandma's nickname?
