School with Makenna and Max

So Makenna hasn’t had preschool for two weeks due to the holidays. But the company we order the preschool stuff from sends stuff for the entire month, despite the holidays.  So I decided to use the supplies they sent and have school with just Makenna and Max!

Our unit was called “Cozy Quilts” and we talked a lot about different types of quilts.

Our biggest project this week was making our quilt books.  The kids used squares to make different quilt designs.  They also had to cut the squares to make triangles for the quilt.  Makenna LOVED doing this and finished each and every page of the quilt book by herself (I’m thinking she is going to LOVE scrapbooking one day!). Max wanted me to help him, and still only completed a few pages.

Other things we did:

Glued q-tips on our Q:

Can you see the error here? I didn’t even notice that Max was gluing on a lowercase “p” rather than a lowercase “q”—it was turned the wrong way! Oops!

Made our own quilt pattern (Max wouldn’t do this one):

Practiced making a “5” by putting 5 stickers on it and then tracing it 5 times:

We did quite a few other pages, but that’s all I took pictures of! Luckily, “real” school starts back next week! : )
