Today we read the book, When I Feel Good About Myself. I really really like this book series because not only do the books reinforce positive messages, they also teach some biblical principles. This particular book reminded us that we are all fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14).
We learned more about the five senses today and we even put them to work. We baked peanut butter cookies. We discovered that we can use all of senses when cooking and preparing foods. We use touch, taste, sight, smell, and hearing. Yes, we had to listen closely for the oven to "ding" when the cookies were done baking.
We worked on our family photo collages today. We'll be finished with our books soon and I can't wait for you to see the finished product! The kids are working very hard. I love watching them in their artistic explorations!
Although today didn't feel much like fall, we went on a nature walk to see if we could find any signs of fall. I've included a few pictures from our walk. The children are always eager to discover new things and they seem to look forward to these walks. We had a few dogs join us too which made it more eventful for me.
We found lots of big unusal mushrooms and a few yellow leaves along the way. I caught a glimpse of a frog jumping off a tree but he hurried to a hole near by. I think the highlight of the walk must have been the big tree that had fallen on one of the paths.
A big thanks to Logan and Jackson today. It was so nice to have extra hands to help me today. See you all next week!
