Backpacks

We just started a new month with Mother Goose Time.  The theme this month is camping and we started off by learning about backpacks.

This is a review month, so each day will have different letters to focus on.  Today the letter was B.  Elli completed the B page in her my little journal and added the letter card to the page.  She was very proud of herself when she was able to correctly write the letter B after trying a few times.  

Elli completed her new monthly name tag.

She used the look and find glasses to find different items on the monthly theme poster.  

This is our second month getting the more math and literacy workbooks, which is an add on offered by Mother Goose Time.  Elli has really been enjoying these workbooks, and they're great practice for beginning reading and math skills.

Elli made her own backpack out of a paper bag.  We went on a walk outside and collected nature items to add to the bag.  While walking we found a snake that Elli desperately wanted to put in her bag;  fortunately a car drove by, and while she was distracted it slithered away into the woods.  I can already tell this theme is going to be a favorite for us.  We love to camp and take a camping trip every summer for 5-6 days.
