Continuing with the St Patrick's Day theme, the girls painted green crosses on Monday. I tried to make them with some Celtic flair, and then they put hands and feet on them. The hands and feet are to represent how St Patrick used his hands and feet to share the truth of Jesus with the people in Ireland.
I also did a counting exercise with Caley, to help her identify numbers and what they mean. First the cups were in order left-to-right and top-to-bottom, then I mixed them up.
Friday we had a free day! I was going to do the reading book with Caley but didn't want to interrupt the girls doing this:
Learning to play nicely with your sister is an important skill, and I don't want to ruin a good thing!
Then we went to downtown Mukilteo and finally used some gift certificates from last summer. They got a free mug and cocoa at Whidbey Coffee, a free ice cream, and free balloons! Chocolate face = happy kids.
I also wanted to share this post encouraging homeschooling by Barbara Curtis. You can find it here.
