Yea for turning 3! I'm so proud of my soon to be 3 year old! Potty trained and polite, loves accessories including shoes, purses, and jewelry, has started trying to write her name, and can sing with the best of them. She is not my dancer...in fact she refuses to dance, but she will sing your ear off. She will plan your outfit for you, and tell you what to do all day long, for that matter. She is very opinionated but takes a long time to make a decision. That's why, I was shocked one day when she announced that she wanted a Snow White birthday party. Now, she has seen Snow White. She went through a Snow White everyday phase for a bit, but it hasn't been lately. She did not back down from the decision and even told Snow White herself at Disney World that she was having a Snow White birthday to which Snow White replied, "Your having a birthday about me!?" NOTE: I also must add here that I am super excited to NOT be throwing a Frozen birthday party. So I put it off as long as I could, but I pulled off a Snow White Birthday Party!
The Animal of the Week is the Caribou...or Reindeer as they are otherwise known as. Get the printable info, coloring sheets, reading log, and craft here. These pretty animals do not commonly have red noses but they are pretty common in the northern region of North America. We hope to catch a few good Reindeer reads and make a nifty ornament all before we start CHRISTMAS BREAK! Enjoy,
This week we are going to be studying Penguins. We might even head over to the zoo to watch them in action. Get the study guide here. For some reason both of the kids had a few times they needed to cut shapes out of the paper this past week...and had to learn how to fold the paper to get the correct shape. It's so crazy to me how everything works out together like that, so for the craft, we will make penguins with heart shapes. We're excited! <3 I also have a few Christmasy Penguin type crafts we plan on doing this week, too. Enjoy!
I cannot tell you how thrilling it is to start everything on the 1st! I love it when Monday lands on the first of the month! Everything seems so right with the world! hehe This month kicks off soooo much for us: the Christmas season, 25 days of books, the elves are back to visit us from the North Pole, AND we are going to learn about Cardinals. Now, lets make one thing perfectly clear. We are Royals fans, so we will only be learning about the animal, the Cardinal. We are not throwing in any funny business with a certain baseball team. Print out your own copy of Cardinal facts, coloring sheets, reading log, and craft here. Enjoy!
