Physical Education
Austin - 1-1/4 hour walk ( he was gone so long I was about to go looking for him. He came back happy with various things he had found while walking. And he was starving.)

In between his assignments Austin spent a lot of time working on word search puzzles. This seems to be his hobby and I'm glad to see it.



Preschool Fun
The preschoolers got off too a late start today. Apparently the weekend wore them out because they slept in. Michael didn't wake up until around 8:30 instead of his normal 7:00 - 7:15 wake up time. And when L's mother brought her at 6:30 this morning she went back to sleep and slept until around 8:00.

But when they did wake up they were ready to go. Our letter of the week is Hh. So we sang our
Letter Hh Songs and colored a Letter Hh template. Actually they were both more interested in being silly than coloring. Oh well.


We also played with puppets, rolled a ball back and forth and read stories. After naptime it was warm enough outside that we even went out and played for about 30 minutes.

And while this is not exactly school work I have to include this ketchup/mustard art by Amanda. She did this yesterday when she was supposed to be cleaning up the kitchen.
