Letter L

This week we worked on the letter L.

 These two were excited about another week of preschool.

 We focused on the number 12

 and the shape of a heart.

 Our verse of the week was, "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' Matthew 22:37

The devotion was L is for Lying.

 L is for Licking Lollipops

 Number Practice with 12

 Our bible story was about Jesus healing the leper.

 L is for Left

Beckett has this concept down!

 Lego L

 L is for Lemonade at Lunchtime

 The boys drew different things that started with the letter L.

 Here is Beckett's drawing...

 Beckett has been wanting to work on words.  So we got out one of the games I used in my old classroom and Beckett started building words.

 He made 13 words, using 2 different endings.

 L is for Learning to Crack Codes

Beckett spent an hour working on matching symbols with letters, then finding the secret message. 

 L is for Lundes

 L is for Lots of Home Projects

The fireplace project continued this week.  Grant finished dry walling the top half and then chiseled out the old hearth.

 L is for Little Helpers

 L is for Locks

 

We went to the Willamette Falls Locks.

 The view was hard to see from the bridge, so we took an elevator to the top to see.

 The boys in front of the falls.

 L is for Leaves

 

We have a serious leaf problem at our house!

 Daddy worked on blowing off the roof and gutters, while the boys and I raked them into piles.

 One yard debris bin and 10 bags later, only the small side yard was picked up! 

 L is for Ladies 

 We had two play dates with fabulous ladies from Brookings.

 L is for Learning to Stand

Who needs to crawl anyways?!?

 L is for Life

Life is great!  Especially when you have hot cocoa! 

First Haircut

On Saturday I gave Sterling his first hair cut.

Letter K

Last week we worked on the letter K.

 

Our devotion was K for Kindness.

 Our verse of the week...

 K is for Keeping Up with our Morning Devotions

We love that fact that we get to do all this in our jammies. :)

 The boys put all the letters we have learned in ABC order.

 Almost half way through the alphabet!

Then the boys played with the left over letters.  Mr. Beckett started making WORDS all by himself!

 Nice Work, Buddy!

 Sterling loves to watch the boys do school.  He is always sitting right them, usually enjoying a snack.

 K is for Kite

We made kites with contact paper and tissue paper.

 Finished Product

 Beckett continues to love his workbooks. 

 Pierce continues to work on ordering the letters in his name.

 Our story of the week was about the four men lowering their friend down through the hole in the roof to Jesus, so He could heal him. 

 After the story, we made our own building out of Legos and reenacted the story. 

 K is for King

 This kid is always surprising me.  I wish the picture showed the crown better, but Pierce made a perfectly symmetrical crown with his colors. 

 The boys completed their writing sample for the week.

 We ended the week working on opposites.  Beckett informed me that he knew them already, so he went ahead and taught Sterling. :)
