Fruits, Vegetables, Children, OH MY!

Ok ok, let's be honest. The curriculum is super fun and super helpful in many many ways. But! My unrealistic expectations, were of course not met. Here's why! The program isn't magic, it isn't going to make my kids all of a sudden want to eat tons of vegetables or try new things all of the time. BOO! Mother Goose Time delivered, I did not. Ha!

I sure do wish that after this lesson, the girls devoured all the green veggies they could find. However, Daniella will still only eat broccoli and Sonia eat corn. They both demolish most fruits like they are going out of style anyway, so I'll take what I can get.

I may not have gotten super veggie eaters out of this, but I'll tell you what I did get. Memories with my kids, a science experiment, painting with a new medium and some math skills. I even got some fine motor skills, social skills and a lot of laughs. So, all in all, it's all good. Anyway, I am the Chicken Nugget Mom not the Brussel Sprout Mom!


Time to sort...

Water play - don't forget to wash your veggies!

Science experiment with sprouting!

 

 

 

Game time! Roll the dice and count out the "strawberries" and put them into a basket.

 

 





Painting with pokey balls

Writing skills - trace the veggies on the cover of your journal

Hope you enjoyed our pics!

Happy Valentine's Day

We finally used our Celebration Kit given to us in our monthly curriculum by Mother Goose Time the way it was intended. I invited a few families from one of my home school groups over to my house for, well, a celebration of course!

I set up a few stations and allowed the kids to come and go to each station as they like. We took a tour of the stations so that they would all understand what to do at each station. Each parent spent some great parent/child time with their children helping them along.

It sure was a great afternoon!

First up, the rice table. As we waited for all of our guests to arrive, the children enjoyed some time at the rice table, filling and dumping. When all of our guests were here, the rice table was a hit. The intention was to use this as a hide and seek table where they would find the papers in the rice and match with the list of numbers on the page, however, it became more of a dumping and filling station and that was ok with us!

The next station, was the card station. I cut out a bunch of different collage items, left out crayons, glue, paint and paper and let their minds get creative.

At our craft station, we made Valentine's Day headbands.

During snack, we cut out bread into hearts, had them smash strawberries and sugar in a ziplock bag and they munched on heart shaped sandwiches.

 

The kids had a blast!

We were lucky enough to have a professional photographer attend the event who wanted to help out the blog by taking pictures for us! Photo credit goes to: www.fb.com/shannonleeryanphotography. Check out her page! You won't regret it!

We also use the preschool curriculum in our home school, if you want to read more about those lessons, read archived blogs or check back for future posts.

God Feeds My Soul

Jesus Feeds 5,000

 

 

I decided that I wanted to use the scripture card to begin Sonia's very own scripture journal. So, here we are. She glued the card on one side and copied the scripture on the opposite page. :)

 



We learned about how God feeds our body. Today we learned about how he feeds our heart (soul).

"How does God multiply our gifts?"

 

I reminded the girls that Jesus took the little boy's gift of two fish and five loaves and multiplied them to feed over 5000 people. Sonia said, "woah. that's a lot of people."

 

We created our multiplying fish.

God Feeds My Body

We learned about a story of Jesus gathering with his friends. They were all hungry, but there wasn't enough food. Jesus did an amazing thing to take care of all the people that had come to see him.

I read the story cards and they enjoyed the story.

"Our God created our Earth to grow many different kinds of food for us."

This activity was great for multi ages. I used the letters to help Daniella with her letter recognition and then Sonia used her phonetic knowledge to tell me a food that begins with each letter. We all worked together in sorting each food into either the "healthy" or "unhealthy" food pile.

"What did the boy give to Jesus"
they both answered fish and bread - wow these story cards really work in keeping their attention!

And off to our craft - Fish and Bread necklaces made from foam fish and noodles.

"When we give our all to Jesus, He will bless and multiply our gift."

We prayed that God "will show us how we can give our all to him, just like the little boy with fish and loaves."
