Week 13, Halloween

These pictures are from 10/29/12 to 11/4/12.

Books from the week-

Max found an old passy in the playroom. He obviously forgot how to take it. haha

I always get asked what Max and Emmy do while I home school Reagan. The answer is always different, but mostly, they play and do random things like this-

I’m lucky to have a close friend that is teaching Kindergarten this year so I can sometimes use her ideas from class. The spider “at” word family being one of them!

Here, Emmy is matching uppercase letters to lowercase letters. She enjoys pocket chart activities.

Making fruit “Smoovies” (smoothies).

This day, Reagan wanted to write about “robots”. She used a word book to help her spell. She would look up a word in the dictionary any day before having to sound it out. For her to be so bright, she really doesn’t like stretching out words to hear the sounds.

Their daddy always helps them with their pumpkin carving projects. It takes him HOURS to do the pictures they pick out.

Emmy drew this picture all by herself. She said that it was her, Reagan, and her cousins Jackson, Nathan, and Addy. When I asked her where Max was at, she said that “Max was too wild to be in the picture!”

Wild Man Max’s picture-

Halloween! We made our normal stops to close family and friends’ houses and then joined up with some good friends to trick or treat around their neighborhood. It was pretty cold, but the kids had such a wonderful time. The girls picked their costumes. Rea picked a hippie, and Emmy picked a Hello Kitty dress (no surprise). Reagan didn’t know what a hippie was, but she loves bold colors and loud prints so it was the perfect fit. I picked Max’s costume- a monster! lol How perfect for a 2 year old in the “terrible twos”! He liked it.

Rea’s art from Thursday Connection- “A Snowman Looking Up”. This was one of my favorite pieces from the fall semester.

We had to stop by Norris for one of my sessions and we checked out the dam before heading home. It was especially neat since we were working on the “AM” word family that week.

Supper at The Cracker Barrell was a nice treat, too. Gran got the night off!

Reagan enjoyed these teeth she got on halloween. Yuck. haha

Thumb’s up!

The girls had a “Pre Birthday Party” at Gran’s with Aunt Kay Kay before she had to leave town. We had Mamaw Peggy’s classic white birthday cake and the girls got to open their gifts from Kay early. They were SOOOO happy to finally get their Dream Lites. Max got one, too. They were a big hit.
