What Have We Been Up To?

 To me Cely Kay's face in this picture summarizes how much fun we have had in these first few weeks of school!
" I did it" is what she said to me in this picture! This was one of our first tot trays and she started with two colored apples, but now she easily sorts three!Amazing what happens when you continue to let them try. 
 For this tot tray I laid out three letters and a flash card. I would call out the letter on the flashcard and ask her to match the magnet to the flashcard.
 She did it! (most of the time) This tray is from the dollar store. The magnetic letters are Melissa and Doug. The set comes with upper and lower case.
 Lillian had to sort these Handwriting Without Tears flashcards into three groups.
 Next she pieced them together in order. The top of each card had a letter as well as the bottom of the card had animals.
 She loved this activity!
 Our theme for these first few weeks has been Apples! One of Lillian's favorite centers is apple picking!
 She had to pour the "apples" on the tree and then pick them off with a pair of tweezers.
Alpha Omega which is our preschool co op started this week as well. We have two classes this year with a total of 14 students and two classes. It was a perfect start with a lot of parent participation, learning, and smiles from all students! 
 Cely Kay loved co op as well. She spent her day in the nursery and dreamed of being a part of her own class next year!
 We took our first Alpha Omega field trip on Saturday to Sky Top Apple Orchard. This is a family tradition for us and it was a delight to spend the day with friends. 

 Cely Kay had fun "picking" the apples from the ground!
 I had a lot of fun creating some apple treats to share with our friends. 
All the pictures of all of us are on my in laws camera, but one of the neatest parts of the trip was that the dads were able to go along as well. I look forward to sharing all of our adventures of Alpha Omega with you.
