Yesterday was such a full day that we hardly spent anytime at home. We started the morning off going to KinderCooks class and made their own pizzas. They got to eat their pizza in class and then take home whatever they didn't eat in class to share with their mommy's (it turned out pretty good). During cooking class Heather (Caleb's mom) and I sit and chat, which is SOO great to have another mom to talk too and share stuff about homeschooling our preschoolers. She is such a sweet mom and I always look forward to cooking classes now just to have some girl talk time. Right after Cooking she went straight to Reading Time in the Library and they read books on Apples and then got to taste three different types of apples and 'vote' on which was the best one. Alexa said that her favorite was the red and green apples and her friend Caleb said he liked all the apples the same. Kids are too funny!
After Reading Time we went into the Library and picked out some books and movies to bring home. We spent a good almost half and hour in the library between mommy looking for books and Alexa playing with the play pizza there and sharing with all the other little boys and girls there. Finally we left the Library and finished our errands and got home around 2pm.
We started working on her homework for the night as soon as we got home. She did such a great job! We practiced our dot to dot ABC's and coloring skills a lot, and talked about our theme and animal for the day.
Later that same day I took Munchkin to a new class that I had heard about from Caleb's mom. The class is called Cubbies and is held at a Church in my neighborhood. In the Cubbies class they start off with worship/singing with all the other clubs (they separate between ages for different 'clubs'). Then the Cubbies go to their own check-in/Bible Story Time. After the story, it's Game Time! The Cubbies end the evening by rotating to snack, crafts and Bible Verses. It's a full hour and a half of fun and connecting with God, other Cubbies. I decided that this would probably be a good idea for Alexa to be in, due to the fact that at our Church she is only there every other week to learn about our faith. Here in Cubbies, she will learn all the basics about the Bible and be able to learn with other children. They are Christian base but non-denominational. She said she had a lot of fun there with everyone and wants to go back again! Which is great because this class is also free!
I am so blessed to be able to find these activities for Alexa that are cheap or free. Being a Homeschooling mom is a bit scary but these activities are helping so much and really making it easy for Alexa also. Next week she will again start another class.. :D
