The photos have been sporadic this week, with many of the kids not feeling well I've been doing more cuddling than photographing :-)
We had the flannel sets out yesterday- This Little Piggy, Hey Diddle Diddle, The Mitten story and dinosaur figures. I did a literacy activity with Ivy yesterday. She picked out some photos to glue onto a page and then she dictated a story about the photos.
Activities like this are fun (and usually funny) and also help to establish and strengthen the connection between the spoken word and written words. Children typically ask to hear their story read back to them again and again.
Today we repotted our pumpkin plants. All 3 were in one small pot and we transplanted them into their own large pot made from recycled yogurt containers covered in paper. The red pot has worm castings mixed in, we will choose another one to water with 'worm casting compost tea' and the third we will just use plain water and plain potting soil....and we shall see how they grow!
If all goes to plan, we will transplant them outdoors when the soil is warm enough, and we will also plant the hyacinth bulbs that we forced this winter.
The other afternoon, Alana noticed the feathers in the art cabinet. They are larger ones that we use as quills. We talked about how in the olden days people used these with ink to write and she gave it a try using paint.
She also wanted to write "Logan" in cursive--which was quite a challenge using the quill, but she did it!
