Today was such a fun day at school. We started our day like usual with Prayer, flag, reciting our family motto. We did our memory verse which right now is learning our phone number. We read our scripture and did our exercises. Then it was time for our value of the week. This week it is family unity and identity. So far this week we have read some stories from family histories. We read great grandpa Garners stories. Yesterday we made a paper chain with all of our names on it and a chain of love in the center and talked about how we all need to be in the family and have love to be united. Today, I pulled out Travis and my scrapbooks from when we were young. I read the boys some stories that I wrote when I was young and showed them some pictures that I drew. They got to see Travis' soccer and basketball pictures. The boys really loved hearing about us and loved to know more about us.
We moved on to our theme for the week which is Animals. We listened to the Carnival of the Animals by Saint-Saens. The boys listened to it and guessed what animal the music was portraying. Then they would dance around like that animal. Jonah especially got really excited about this. He loves to listen to music and move so this was perfect.
After this we moved to math. Today we talked about patterns and sorting and we got out some colored shape manipulatives and the boys made boats and animals out of them. They really got excited about this as well. It was just all together a good day at school!
