Camping

We went camping at Fort Yargo this past weekend.  Even though it was rainy at times we had a good time =) Such a nice weekend to spend as a family.

More Pre K Fun

Olivia has been having lots of fun at school.  She even wrote her first story!

Acting out the little red hen

Her cow she made

Her finished pig story

First Homework

Olivia had her first homework...since then we have had 2 more assignments.  She has been very excited to complete them as soon as we get home and I check her folder.  She said she actually likes homework...hopefully that will continue the next 13 years of her life! We have had some sequencing and a book review to do.  Here was her first homework- color, cut and sort!

Funny Notes

Olivia learning to write is pretty comical at times...

This is just one example we get when she just doesn't agree with us. 

September Sickies

Well, the September germs caught Olivia.  Last week it started with some sneezing and then the stuffy nose, by Thursday she complained her head hurt, so we skipped gymnastics.  Last Friday (the 18th) we had an appointment for a flu shot...well she had a 102 temp =( AND she was at school ALL day.  Then she had some tummy issues.  Saturday she slept most of the afternoon and Sunday she was a but better then the cough started and then on Monday she had some hives and then some on Tuesday night.  Ugh...I hate the cough, the hives, and everything that goes along with being sick.  Last night the cough was REALLY bad, so I slept in her room and made the choice not to send her to school today.  Brendon took her to the doctor and they gave us another inhaler.  So far tonight it seems better.

Here are some new school pictures from the past 2 weeks! Last week they did shapes/construction with a great field trip to Home Depot.  This week and next week is the farm.  Yesterday they got to go to the Gwinnett Fairgrounds and see the 4H display with animals! I love they go on so many field trips!!

This was the day she had the fever...totally can tell she is NOT happy!!

The start of farm week!

4H field trip

She loved the bunnies and sheep

1/2 way through September

Can't believe we are half way through September already!

Crazy!

Here is what we have  been up to...

 Lots of fun at school...last week was about colors

And lots of fun other times =)

Teaching her "students" about Brown Bear Brown Bear

Bills season opener

This week at school is about shapes...she built a cube with gumdrops

August Catch Up

Breathe. Exhale. August is over.  Still doing lots of school work is an understatement. 

Olivia is settling in at school with the exception of a few warnings- she threw a toy, cried at lunch- she didn't want to eat her hamburger, and moved her snack clip off her shirt (TWICE). But she has had lots of fun.  She loves having a job.  She knows when she has a job because there is a pattern for her job, no job, job...she was excited to feed Brownie the guinea pig this week and tomorrow she gets to tell the weather. She is learning LOTS- lots of things with letters and sounds and rhymes.  What rhymes with dinosaur or flamingo?? I have no clue! They worked on making family trees at school.  Even though our tree has a few apples...it is beautiful!

At home she drew this beautiful picture on her write and wipe drawing mat.

Kind of hard to see but she drew a picture of us and wrote our names!

The best are the videos...she can't wait to be a cowgirl for Halloween and bless my heart I am going to try to make her costume. =)

Then we have been reading lots of sight word books.  Here is her reading the book after a partial read with me =)
