"Lentil" is about a little boy who can't sing so he buys a harmonica and eventually saves the town! There are themes of music, directions, patriotism, and lemons. We touched on these themes in our activities. The girls colored an American flag (and their faces and hands), listened to John Philip Sousa music, tasted lemons, limes, salt and sugar, made a toilet paper roll harmonica and learned a new song, and colored with pencils.
Aside from Lentil-related activities, the girls got ready for Caley's birthday party on Sunday by filling and labeling gift bags, playing board games and finding a ladybug. Caley also drew several fruits and we talked about fruits of the Spirit, specifically kindness, patience and gentleness. This was introduced at playgroup, because it's January's theme.
They also got a lot of playtime with friends, from bible study to having Dexter and Odessa over and playing at Bekah's because I had a doctor's appointment. We also had Caley's birthday party on Sunday which was a big hit! They played with playdough, did a (semi-organized) game of Twister, ate some cake and ice cream, and had free play. They had a great time!
We're hoping baby boy arrives sometime this week or next, but I've planned activities for school nonetheless. Fingers crossed. :)
