School's In!

Tomorrow we are starting SCHOOL!!! 

Home-School that is!! Ayla has been asking and asking "When am I gonna start school?"  With the move our first day of school was postponed a bit!  She's been so excited-it's so cute!

Our first week's lesson is based around the book: "Jessie Bear: What Will You Wear?" I have gotten some helpful ideas from BFIAR & other mom's and came up with some fun activities to go with this book.
  • I've printed out a paper doll (bear) with little clothes that she can color and and dress her "Jessie-Bear"
  • In the book the parent's show love to Jessie-Bear in different ways, we are going to practice showing love to one another
  • Jessie-Bear also keeps his room tidy and toys put away when he goes to sleep at night...we are going to mention that too.. LOL
  • We're going to eat Teddy Grahams for snack
  • Ayla's going to practice picking out clothes for the day (maybe they will match??)
  • We're going to work on our bible verse for the week (very short and goes along with our theme)
That's just a few of the fun things were going to try throughout the week!  But it's mostly going to be enjoying the books and doing an activity (if she wants),playing outside and trying to point things out that she can associate with the book.

Mommy's excited!!!

I'll let you know how this week goes!!

  2. Jesse Bear, What will you wear? What will you wear in the morning? My shirt of red pulled over my head! Oh, we love Jesse Bear. Was just reading it to my little guy last week. I am now doing Before, and Beyond FIAR as well! I just love it.

    Hey, did you notice the change in spelling of "bear" on the page where Jesse is in the tub? There it's Jesse "bare"!

    Have fun. These are wonderful moments.

    Blessings to you and yours.
