Week E

We finished E last week and are still enjoying ourselves. It is this little mans letter, although we didn't get to see him in person, Phi loves to pick out his letter, his daddy's letter and Kate's letter on his alphabet chart. Little Mr. Elliott.

The attempt at drawing an E.

I ordered a few workbooks that were on sale at Timberdoodle.com and this is one of them, Phi loves it of course.

It came out perfect that one of the exercises this week was a tug-o-war game when it was all cut out. So we learned about Ends. "This End is your End, this End is my End". Whoever got the piece of scotch tape in the middle won the match.

We also worked on Enter and Exit, boy style.




And then for easier repetition.


We of course had Eggs



And Aunt Deb gave us the idea and recipe for English muffins which we tried making for the first time with some success.

Our classy English muffin cutteroutter. :D

Phi's favorite part, sprinkling the cornmeal on them.

Almost done.

And a finished product hot of the press.


We also did some Egg carton critters for a craft who were respectively named Enoch and Ezekiel.




We learned about Elk, Elephants, Earthworms and Eagles for animals. Eyes, Eyebrows, Eyelids,Eyelashes, Ears, and Epidermis for body parts. We attempted to understand the meaning of Eternity, and Everlasting.We finished up our D week's Creation story with Adam and Eve in Eden. Phi loved the story about Elijah in 1 Kings 17 being fed by the Ravens. Our verse was: Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right. Proverbs 20:11 And we sang it too, along with Everyday with Jesus.

Two funny quotes from the week:

Phi leaning over a chair upside down: "Hey Mom, I'm upside-over"

Phi looking around for his younger brother: " Where is our bruder Leroy?"

On to week F we go, and we'll see what that brings.

I am amazed at your creativity with the alphabet. You are such a fun mom.

I love the "bruder" comment, that is so cute!

You are so awesome... You need to put a book together for all of these, I know a lot of moms would love to do this without having to think of it themselves... Uhhum, moms like me. :-)
