Seahorses


While I was finishing pulling things together for this morning's lesson, Charlotte used a
Draw-Write-Now lesson to draw a hermit crab from Monday's lesson :)


Today was another fun day!
We started with "Mister Seahorse" by Eric Carle.
Then, we explored what seahorses looked like and felt like (left)
AND then pretended to be seahorses :)
We used straws to suck up our food and wrapped our tails around the water table to hold on!

Mister Seahorse is about a seahorse daddy.
Seahorse daddies take care of their eggs in a pouch on their bodies until they hatch.
We brainstormed how our Daddy shows love to us <3


Then, I had Adelyn do a little repeated writing work while 
I did 1-on-1 reading instruction with Charlotte.


This was our book for today.
She was adorable.  
She told me "Mommy, this is a LONG book!"
It's a book we check out of the library regularly so it was 
a really fun story for her to realize she could read alone :)


Charlotte works really well independently while Adelyn does her reading.

Adelyn…..well, we're working on it ;)


Adelyn did a little muffin-tin math while we finished up!


Charlotte did a little word study, writing & cutting for our craft while Adelyn
got her 1-on-1 reading time!



A little snippet from today :)




We finished with a great seahorse craft with tissue paper, modge podge and googly eyes :)
How could you go wrong?

While we crafted, we talked about how God (the BEST Dad)
shows his love for us.  The girls had a great list!
Charlotte read 1 John 3:1 in her Bible after our craft.
