Anyways, after not getting much done last week, I decided to turn each letter into a 2-week "unit" instead of a weekly unit. That gives us plenty of time to do any of the activities and more!
We started with meeting Mrs. Applebee and the Apple Blossom Fairies. Princess listened with eyes wide open to the first story where Mrs. Applebee tells Michael about her "children" (the fairies). When the story was over, we read about St. Anne, and started to color our Apple Blossom & St. Anne Coloring pages:
We had apples for a snack.
Once I noticed the kids getting bored with coloring (they are only 2 & 3), we decided to make our "Letter A" Apple Pie! The kids had a blast measuring, pouring, and mixing the ingredients, as well as cutting the letter A's to put on the pie.
Even Marshmallow got to get in on the apple action, having his first taste of "real" apples...
Don't they look soo excited? LOL
Watching their pie bake.
Mmmmm...it tasted so good! The kids would only eat the A's. They wouldn't even try the pie. But, us adults sure did enjoy it!!
I'm so happy to have run across your blog. :) I hope you and your children LOVE the Alphabet Path as much as we did! I am looking forward to doing it again with my 3 (turning 4) year old, next year. Your pie turned out wonderful!
ReplyDeleteJessica! You have become SUCH an inspiration to me! I check your blog at least 3 times daily to see if you have added any new posts! I LOVE learning about all the new things you do, and about Feast Days that I never knew existed! Oh, and I can't wait to start a Little Flowers group with my daughter! I'll still have another year, since she'll only be 4 in May, but I may start when she's 4.5. Thank you for all that you do!!
