Last weeks lesson

I am pretty sure that the gods of homeschooling would kringe at our lessons this week. I was trying to cover the letter E ands its sounds etc. She just wasn't into it, after a couple minutes of trying to persuade her to get into it, I gave up and went with the flow. My thought was E for elephants. She did not want to do any of the tracing or cutting so we watched clips about elephants on youtube. Then we listened to a couple elephant songs on it as well. The songs were great, she is still singing them. Then I made elephant pancakes. So that was day one. Not to forget we did our usual calendar and weather. The next day went a bit smoother. We made elephants from handprints. She loved this of course, and I have to admit the art is always my favorite part. I read some books that featured a ton of words with the long and short E sound. We had one of those wierd weeks in the winter where its 50+ degrees outside. We played outside a ton last week. So I like to think we were working on motor and social skills alot this week. Landon made me some cool lego creations for my birthday. LOVED IT! Not sure why everyone is drinking.lol The last pic is of Maddie enjoying a slice of the amazing cake my neighbor brought over. She obviously really loved it.
 Maddie is very excited about the Fairy books we got from our library trip that we will use this week. This week and weekend was busy busy busy around here so hopefully things are smoother this week.
