Well, before we embark on the 3rd Grade/Kindergarten adventure for the next year, we needed to finish Preschool and 2nd grade! Friday marked Babytoes' last day of Pre-K. For us, as homeschoolers, that meant that we finished the last lesson in Little Hands To Heaven, read the last story in the corresponding story bible, reviewed the sounds of all 26 letters, and finished the last page in her leapfrog math workbook. Then a time of play-dough kicked off the daylong celebration of festive activities to celebrate my baby's big day!
First, we headed to the store to pick up her selected prize that she earned by filling up her sticker chart (it came with the math workbook).
Then, we went down a local trail to pick more fireweed for one last batch of jelly.
Next, we headed over to a generous woman's house where she let us pick her wild raspberries in return for some jelly.
Finally, we headed home to dinner, and then made snickerdoodle cookies to finish up Babytoes' Cookie-baking badge for Keepers Of the Faith.
So, what about your family? What kind of ideas/celebrations do you have for marking your child's accomplishments? If you don't currently have any, maybe this will help you to start thinking on it. Just like we want to be encouraged in our endeavors, so do our babes.
Now we are off to vacation for a week, and then home for a week of "Teacher Mom Inservice" (planning), and then the first day of school at our table! August 28th is the big day when we will crack open the new books and begin our next adventures. *See* you then!
Blessings,

| Fun in the Fireweed! |

| Mmmmm! Our biggest challenge here was keeping the berries out of little ones' mouths! |
