A and E Weeks

We've done lots of fun things recently in school that I wanted to share. We just have to finish the vowel weeks before we take a short break, then head into real-live kindergarten curriculum. Fun stuff! For "A" week we talked about animals, ants (with antennae), apples, and astronauts. Below are some of the pics from that week. The boys are using apples to paint on their paper. It was supposed to make the star (from the core of the apple) imprint, but it didn't exactly work out that way. The boys still enjoyed painting! We finished up the week by watching some clips of astronauts on From the Earth To the Moon, which the boys really enjoyed.




Then we did "E" week, and there were lots of fun things to do that start with E. One day we talked about all the animals that start with E and watched a few National Geographic videos online. Then we made eagle masks. It wasn't until later that I realized that Luke's mask was upside down. Oops.


Of course, the funnest thing we did was talk about ancient Egypt. The boys got a kick out of looking at the hierophyphics and seeing their names spelled out in pictures. We also looked at our picture album from when Daddy and I went on vacation to Egypt (one of the coolest vacations ever!). They got to see pictures of the pyramids and the Great Sphinx. Very cool. To top it all off, Aunt Stacey cut out a mummy mask that we decorated together. Then we wrapped Joshua up in toilet paper to mummify him. It was a fun day! Here are the pics from that day.
