Pumpkin Picking 2010
Today we went with our friends to pick pumpkins at Vollmer Farm. This was a really neat place and we didn't even get to experience all the "extra fun" stuff they had available because that part is only open on the weekends.

Letter R is for Rocket! And the Feast of Michaelmas.
Isabel has been very "into" Rocket from Disney's Little Einsteins show. Everyday I hear, "Mommy, call me Rocket today"...coupled with a mischevious grin. Then somehow the entire family (dog and cat included) become Little Einsteins characters for the day! So I knew R Week could be fun for her!
I made up an "R is for Rocket" tracing page for her.
"R is for Rocket" puzzle.
Letter R chalkboard words.
We made rainbow rice and played with it!
We did a rainbow craft with pipecleaners and beads.
Explanation of rainbows and Noah's Ark story.
Read Planting a Rainbow by Lois Ehlert.
Letter R scavenger hunt and word trace.
Made our letter R out of ribbon.
R is for rainbow letter tracing page.
Rescued a frog from Office Max....true story!
Played in the rain!
Wednesday September 29th was the Feast of the Archangels, also called Michaelmas (mick-el-moss) so we learned about the 3 archangels, and what it meant to be an archangel versus a different type of angel. The archangels are also noted by their special colors! (Did you know each archangel had 2 colors representing it??) We worked on a really cute archangel mobile craft and hung it in our home, and also said a special prayer asking for the intercession and protection of each archangel that day!
