1st week of "school"

Rylie completed her 1st week of "school", she did really good. I've decided our themes are going to be weekly (not monthly), there's only so much you can do & learn about apples hahaha. Our "school" is from 9:00-11:00am and consists of worksheets of the weekly letter & number, an art project, reading a book, singing songs, learning the months of the year & days of the week, shapes, colors, and a cooking/baking lesson on Fridays. We will also be taking "field trips" and going to the library every month. After our "school" work is done we have outside time, which includes playing in the backyard, going to the pool, or going to the park.
We had a few sets backs this week but overall I am very pleased with how things went. Rylie did very well and is already learning so much!

On Fridays we do some sort of baking or cooking lesson. She was making donut holes here...

we also made apple juice popsicles. I found this mold in the dollar bin at Target and we filled it with apple juice. Yum-Yum!

name recognition, this was pretty easy for her.
