The 'proper' way......
We set out paintbrushes, water, giant sheets of paper, and watercolor blocks. This lil sweetheart was using her (age appropriate) skills to manipulate the slippery blocks in and out of the spaces where they fit. I could have panicked and showed her how to use them 'properly'; I chose to sit back and watch her inquisitive mind explore. She was working hard. :)

Mural
The kids are making a mural today....we actually do this a lot. They love working together and getting ideas from each other as to what to draw and paint. The kids draw their own pictures to paint :) I love sharpies!! And watercolor.....

Around the room.....
Most the time, hanging out on the table is not encouraged.....but lil Hailey sat up here for a good 40 minutes playing with blocks. She was so content that we didn't bother her. As soon as she spotted me it was as if she was saying, haha....look at me!!! Jake is working on writing and making valentine buddies :)

Back to School......
Today we start our back to school theme......One of the books I start with is 'if you take a mouse to school'....which is why we have mice around :) Elsie is matching up the mice and counting.
We later started out making school buses. We started with a yellow rectangle and some black circles and squares. The kids took the project from there. I like to offer glue and tape. The kids love tape! Nathan made a school bus...then wanted to make a city bus, which he is doing here....and then he made a helicopter with the blades and all! Love it!!
Connor is enjoying cutting! He loves to cut. He had an idea using all squares. If you notice he added his two wheels to the bottom of the blue paper. Awesome work!!

Story boarding camping
Nate is very interested in camping. So we did story boarding today to get ready for next week. I put 'camping' in the middle and asked what they thought about camping. i also asked if there was anything they wanted to learn about camping. I prompted nothing else. Here is their board. We will visit it over the next few weeks to add things if they want.
