Playing With Pinterest- Sibling Photographs

So i recently fell in love with Pinterest. Way too in love. I have so many pins its ridiculous. And i recently came across a blogger who had the same problem- too many pins, but doing nothing with them. So like her, i decided i need to try to do/make at least 1 of my pins a month. I will call these posts “Playing with Pinterest”.

This month i copied a bunch of the sibling photography ideas from my Photography board. Here are the pictures i took (i did some editing too)-

What do ya think?

Dry Erase ‘Fall Bucket List’ In A Frame

 

Just a quick post to show you what i did with my fall bucket list:

Cut a piece of scrapbook paper to fit and put it in the frame. On the glass use a dry eraser marker to write and you will easily be able to erase it! I also put little boxes before each item so we can cross it off after we do it :)

Letter Aa and Circle

Happy new school year everyone! We just finished our first 2 weeks of school, yeah! With Brianna i worked on the letter Aa and circles-

Letter Aa:

Large Muscle:

Moving like an Alligator-

Ring around the apple-

Carrying a (fake) apple on a spoon-

Science:

Comparing fresh and dried apples (to dry- peel and slice apples and cook in a 150 degree oven for an hr)-

Ant experiment (put sugar and salt on 2 separate paper plates and leave outside. Which do ants like? Sugar!)-

Cooking:

Ants on a log-

Applesauce muffins-

Letter Aa worksheets-

(this first one led to tears. She gets frustrated if she doesn't do it perfectly.)

Circles:

Art:

Hole punch circles- (she needed my help with this)

Circle collage-

Small Muscle:

Playdoh circles-

(I didn't take a picture of this but she used small circular lids to make circles in the playdoh)

Cheese and cracker circles-

Circle pancakes-

Matching the circles-

The next 2 weeks- letter Bb and squares!

Curriculum Choices 2011

I have been such a bad blogger, we started our first day of homeschooling today and i haven't even told you what curriculums we are using this year! So sorry. We've been so busy and my mind has been elsewhere.

For Connor…

I am using Abeka grade K-

This is just one of their many books! I am borrowing the teachers guides from a friend but i bought the child kit plus a bunch of the supplements to go along with it. And we are also going to be using their social studies and science books as well.

Brianna’s main curriculum…

are books that feature all sorts of activities to go along with letters, numbers, shapes and colors. (We are skipping over the colors section). Here are the books im getting the ideas from-

Alphabet fun for little ones-

Color, shape and number fun for little ones-

I was so happy to have been given these books by a friend- they are perfectly what i wanted to use with Brianna. They are super creative and have some of the bets ideas ive ever seen.

I will be using a bunch of other little supplemental stuff along the way as well.

Hope your kiddies are all enjoying school!
