Daniel in the Lions Den

Bekah and I had recently had a lot of fun learning about Daniel in the Lions Den. We read the story from her childrens Bible and then made a cute craft I found at DLTK-Kids website.

After we finished, Bekah wanted to act out the story of Daniel in the Lions Den. We had so much fun taking turns being Daniel or the lion! When Daddy came home we even performed it for him. I think Sarah was one of the lions!
Bekah loves to paint and this project had her painting the lion's mane with a toothbrush, which she thought was great!

First Week of Preschool and the Letter L

This was our first official week of preschool and Bekah was so excited about it.
I looked into many different curriculum plans and decided on using Carissa's Raising Rock Stars Preschool from 1+1+1=1. She has some amazing ideas on her blog and I'm so pleased to be using the RRS with Bekah. We will also be supplementing with other things and I will be sure to link to those as well.

This week focused on the letter L and everyone we saw this week was told that it was "L week"!

We began our morning with a school bus puzzle. This used to be hard for her, but now she can do it without a problem.

Next we had a very special breakfast of French Breakfast Puffs from Pioneer Woman. I have to admit, these were a bit sweet for my taste buds.

While I cleaned up Bekah played with her Melissa and Doug tangram puzzles. She's really been into these lately.


After getting dressed we began our "official" preschool day. Bekah made a book called I See. She read this little book to all of her little animals.


We played an adorable school house game that I printed from Childcare land.

It has been so hot here this week and Bekah has been begging to go swimming, so after lunch we took a pool break. It was heavenly! (I love homeschooling already!)

We made cool structures with toothpicks and marshmallows. This was perfect to make the letter L.

Bekah practiced writing the letter L. We're really working on our pencil grip. We're getting there.

She cut out L is for... cards. I found this picture so funny!

Pretending to be a ladybug!

Our Wooly Lamb turned out really cute! This was from an old Mailbox magazine.

I think one of the most favorite acitivites were these Exercise A-Z cards that I printed from Homeschool Share. This is Bekah Balancing on one foot.

Look at that smile! I think she loves homeschooling as much as her mommy does!

Hope you all had a great homeschooling week!

Letter L Activities

Last week we worked on Letter L. We made a letter L is for Lion that I had seen at Funny Day's with Mommy and Maddie.


We also made lemonade with our juicer. Bekah couldn't wait for Daddy to taste our lemonade. It was yummy!


(Don't worry the juicer was off as she was putting in the lemon pieces!)


We also did these fun lollipop activities that I found at Home Grown Hearts.

(She loved using our flashlight this week!)

(I realized the 3 was backwards after I took the photo and helped her fix it!)


Bekah had a lot of fun with the ladybug printables I found at Confessions of a Homeschooler.


I loved seeing her and Daddy work on this cut and paste ladybug!


This Letter L cut and paste is a favorite of Bekahs. You can find it at Homeschool Creations.

stART - Is You Mama a Llama?

Our stART project this week was Is Your Mama a Llama by Deborah Guarino. This week we are currently learning all about the letter L, so this book was very fitting. I printed off a llama coloring sheet from here and had Bekah color it.


She then put some glue on the llama and went to town with the cotton balls.


I think it's so funny that she put one on the llama's face. We have the book from the library and also got the Is Your Mama a Llama scholastic video. Bekah loves these videos and watches them over and over. It's fun to enjoy the book in a different way!
