Preschool Corner: Holiday Style
Guess how much school we did this week? If you guessed pretty well close to not-much-at-all, you are RIGHT on the nose!!
We started out our week with snow, and after doing all but staple Zachary to his seat, I decided it would be easier to let him go outside and just have a little fun!
This is his idea of fun. Mind you, 10 minutes before this I found him walking around our backyard with all his snowgear on ~ and only sock feet.
And his idea of MORE fun…
We spent a few days baking and just having some holiday fun. We made these peppermint meringue cookies and these yummy snickerdoodles {yummy} and decorated a gingerbread house together {and don’t think that I baked the gingerbread ~ hello, Walmart!!}.
Made some fun little clothespin angels. Zachary was the one who asked if we could make these and we had to run to Walmart to get the clothespins and pipecleaners. Here is is making his little angel’s face.
This is Laurianna’s angel. They are super-simple and the kids made no less than twenty of them. Our Christmas tree has been overtaken…
Zachary is also having fun using my iTouch to play some games. He is really liking the iWriteWords app where he can trace both upper and lowercase letters. We had the lite/free version, but that only covered the first three letters of the alphabet, so this is the first app that I was willing to spend a little money on! :)
That was pretty much our week! Just to give you a quick heads up, I will be hosting Preschool Corner next week {December 18th}, but will take a break for Christmas and New Years {the next two Fridays}.

I miss sledding in the snow... you can't do that too much in Texas... when I lived in Indiana on the other hand...
The angels are so cute!

SNOW! I'm so jealous!! We made ginger bread houses last week and I actually made them. DISASTER! They ended up falling apart and we made ginger bread tee pees. Now they have been eaten so much that they look like a big blob of ginger bread on my table. Oh well we tried, next year I will go to Wally World and get one there.

We are right with you in the school department. I don't see us doing much now until the New Year!

Our snow melted before we could get out in it, but I'm sure we'll get more this winter! Looks like you had a very fun week!

Ooh, you had fun this week! Love the angel!

Hey, sledding is considered school, right!? They need physical education! :)

Must be contagious, we've been messing around too! I think I went on mental break at Thanksgiving ;o) LOL!

I wish we had snow for a day or two. We only have chilly rain that keeps us inside. My coworker also recommended the same iPod app, I am going to get it next week.

Oh, that is so not fair! We only got a light dusting of snow last Sat. And it all melted by mid-morning! Glad ya'll got to have fun in it!

Life has been so hectic and messed up for us these last couple of weeks. I keep thinking I need to post to the preschool corner, but haven't got there yet. Thinking of you all though. :)
