Time to learn the letter E and study our largest land animals - elephants! Elephants are Jason's favorite animal so he read every non-fiction book I checked out from the library. We then just looked at pictures while Jason told us what we were looking at and why it was special or unique.
Years ago Jason's favorite books were the Elmer the Elephant books (elephants have always been Jason's favorite.) He even knew were to find them at our local library. I thought it would be fun to revisit an old friend and introduce Elmer to Adam and Jill. Elmer is a patchwork elephant. He's silly, friendly and colorful. Adam enjoyed the story (we read Elmer and the Kangaroo) and really enjoyed coloring elephants all week. I printed some coloring pages from the internet but I also found this worksheet in one of the few preschool workbooks I kept. It has you draw missing parts on the elephant. I thought it was amazingly appropriate as it was even titled Elmer Elephant. Adam did a great job. All the elephants Adam colored this week were very colorful just like Elmer.
Jill even got in the fun coloring her own elephants. She prefers markers for her work :)
In addition to preschool at home, Adam has started swim lessons (and loves it) and...
gymnastics! He's always loved climbing and jumping and rolling, and I thought it would be good for him but he's the only boy in the class. He has fun but says he doesn't want to sign up next time. We'll see...
