Happiness

This week with Mother Goose Time we're learning about feelings and emotions.  We started with happiness.  

Every monthly box comes with a forest friend book that features a trait, this months was kindness.  I read the book to Ronan and then he took it and looked at the pictures himself.  I don't think he understands a lot of the stories yet, but he loves to listen to people read and to look at books.  

We practiced making happy and sad faces and rolling the pocket cube to match the face it landed on to the same colored chart.  

The color of the month is red.  Ronan did not like the color wand and didn't want to use it, but Elli loved it and wants one in every color.  We did show him other red things in the house and showed they were the same as the wand.

Elli loves to help out with "school."  She played the happy heart game with Ronan and showed him how to roll the pocket cube and hand out heart cards.  

Elli really likes the I spy letter sheets.  She found everything on the paper that started with F and pointed them out to Ronan.  He even said a new word, lion, while we were pointing out the different pictures.  *The letter sheet for the day was actually supposed to be H for happy but I wound up switching them around accidentally.
