Preschool Corner/Tot School!

Butter cup is 42 months and Buddy is 20 months!
For Preschool this year I'm using Little Hands to Heaven.
The last two weeks Buttercup has been learning about letter A, and B. She is also learning about Creation, Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, and Noah's Ark!

Buttercup really enjoys her Rod and Staff ABC preschool books!

Tot School

Weekly Wrap Up!

Week 1, and 2:
Ok, so I know that last time I posted I said I didn't know when we would actually start school, but my Rainbow Resource order arrived the afternoon after my sons sleepover. Once I saw the last two books I needed I couldn't help myself. We started school on July 12! The last two weeks have gone pretty well other than adjusting to a bit longer school days. So far I really love Bigger Hearts For His Glory! It is even better than Beyond, and a perfect fit for Buster. Sweetpea is finishing up Little Hearts right now, and I started Little Hands with Buttercup. She loves having her own special school time. I took a picture of each of them on the first day:
Buster 3rd grade!

Sweetpea K/1st,
still not sure what to call her.

Buttercup Preschool!

Buddy Tot school!

So far everything I picked is working great except for Latin For Children. I decided to hold off on that for a bit because it was too much for Buster still. We will continue with Song School Latin for now.
Photobucket
The girls love their Rod and Staff work books. Buttercup has the ABC ones and Sweetpea has the GHI ones.

Buster will be 8 on Tuesday! I can hardly believe it myself. Yesterday afternoon we had his party at a park!
He requested a board game birthday and a chess cake. He loves playing board games especially chess!
Here is the cake:
