Sept. 20-26 Our week of learning

Another week flew by as I blinked. I can not believe Fall is here. Lili is still enjoying her "school" time everyday. This week...

• Math with measurements. We made some delicious apple cookies with some of the apples we had left from the orchard. Lili loves to scoop and measure ingredients and mix it all together. She loves tasting as we cook of course! The cookies were so moist and yummy. I am going to try and work on adding some labels to the blog so I can have a few categories of posts that everyone can navigate through. If I figure it out I will add a recipe tab to share our cooking fun with everyone. First up...apple cookie recipe!
• We made weather card magnets. A sunny, cloudy, rainy and snowy card so far. Lili wants to add a windy card. Everyday she looks outside and checks the weather and puts the appropriate card on the front of the refrigerator.
  
• We talked about taste. Sweet, salty, bitter and sour (small tastes on our finger tip of sugar, salt, cocoa powder and vinegar. Looked in the mirror to find our taste buds. Thought of foods that fit in the different taste categories...cookies and cake, chips and crackers, pickles, etc... Lili figured out that if she dipped her finger in the cocoa powder and then the sugar it made the cocoa sweet like chocolate! YUM! She continued to dip in the cocoa and sugar and examine her tongue in the magnifying mirror.
  
• Skipped story hour this week. Oddly, Lili said she didn't want to go and Gabi was pretty crabby (teething) so we decided to take the day off. We read books and a highlights magazine at home instead. Lili had a subscription to the kids magazine "Highlights" last year. There were sections of them that she was a bit to young to do so we are going to get them back out. She enjoyed the first one so we will continue with the rest.
• We also read her "I'm Reading Now" books all week along with the library books she picked out. We go to the library every week. She finished book #5 in her set. And she is so close to getting books #6,7 and 8. There are just a couple words that she gets stuck on. That is a really nice reading set. I am impressed and Lili is still interested in learning to read. I need to post all the school material we are using for this year. Well, that was our week.
  

Thanks for visiting.
