This week... July 4th!

We finally picked our home-school lessons back up!  After planning for a few weeks, I decided that our theme this week would be July 4th!  It's completely appropriate being that July 4th is tomorrow!  

Our first lesson was yesterday.  We talked about July 4th, and how why we celebrate it!  We also talked about the flag, and we said the Pledge of Allegiance together!  It was more than adorable to hear her version of the pledge!  We didn't read a book with our lesson, because I haven't managed to make it to the library yet.  However, I am hoping that we can do that this afternoon!  

Abbie got to make a flag of her own!  I cut out the pieces for her, but she did a lot of the gluing herself!  The stars are actually glow in the dark stickers, and Abbie thought they were the coolest things ever!  We should totally convert the US flag to have glow in the dark stickers!!!

She really seemed to enjoy doing our "lesson" again!  She has been talking about "circle time" for over a week!  Since she did such a great job, she earned a little time on the iPad!   I think it is cute that she sees this as a "reward", being that she is actually using Apps that are learning tools!

This was also the first home-school lesson that Brady was a part of!  While I know he is FAR too young to learn or be taught... he did enjoy sitting in his chair and working on his fine motor skills!  He really seems to like Abbie's room, and Abbie really seems to like having Brady in her room!!!
