Puzzles and Pinecones
This week has been a bit anticlimactic considering the lack of birthday celebrations and holidays that we’ve gotten used to, but it opened the door for us to do normal school things, like arts and crafts projects and academic challenges that build our skills in writing, reading, counting, and letter recognition.

It was a busy week of special days and we enjoyed every minute! First we decided we couldn’t let Chinese New Year go by without creating one of the best things about it… a Dragon! We started with recycled egg cartons. After cutting them to size, (a tedious, messy job!) we painted each tiny cup […]
