Bugs! Bugs! Bugs! by Bob Barner

Cheyenne met my friend Bucky Buffalo. Bucky Buffalo "went to buy some bread but bought a banana split instead." While learning about the sound of "B", Cheyenne also learned about putting others first, and looking for opportunities to please them instead of pleasing ourselves. She learned that selfishness leaves us feeling sad in the end, even if it seems like it would taste really good at first, like as a good as super-duper yummy banana split.

This week we also learned that "B" is for "bug". We spent some time coloring butterflies and bumblebees. And Cheyenne had fun crafting this cute little bumblebee out of the letter "B".

Cheyenne also learned that "B" is for Butterfly.

Using Jolanthe's printables over at Totally Tots, we practiced counting this week with numbers up to 10. I cut out several little bumblebees and Cheyenne needed to put one bumblebee on each pollen. As the bumblebee landed on the pollen she counted. =)

After we spent a few days counting bumblebees and pollen, Cheyenne made a collage out of the letter B and glued on all the bumblebees.

Cheyenne also had some hands~on fun making the letter "B" with her playdough.

We also learned about the Number 3 this week. She is pretty good at writing 3. "Around the tree, Around the tree. That's the way to make a three." She has also been practicing her 2's, and is getting better each time =)

This week we had lots of fun painting and just getting "artsy". This is Cheyenne's picture of the sun.

And we had some fun with Alphabet Art, thanks to Jessica and her adorable ideas! This week Cheyenne made a butterfly out of "B" and a boat out of "b". We "painted" our pictures by blowing colorful soapy bubbles onto the poster board. This one was a bit messy, and Mom lost her patience half way through, but they did manage to finish their projects despite my freaking out about the chaos of bubbles and food coloring everywhere ;0)

Kevin even joined in this week =)

This week we learned that B is for Behave. And we behave when we do what it right and when we obey Mommy and Daddy.

Cheyenne also memorized Matthew 5:9 this week. As we are going through My ABC Bible Verses, by Susan Hunt, she has loved the little stories that go along with each verse. This week learning about being a "peacemaker" honestly couldn't have come at a more perfect time! Cheyenne and Kevin have been quarreling like crazy these past few weeks, so this verse really helped her understand what role God wants her to take when arguments and quarrels come up.

Cheyenne learned that God says, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God." We made this cute little reminder for her to hang up in her room =)
