The countdown to Christmas begins! Today we made Christmas chains, with the numbers 1-25 on them. I helped Topher with his, having him tell me which number comes next and had him slide the strips through the hole while I did the stapling. Bekah did hers completely on her own, cutting the strips, writing the numbers and putting the chain together. She was so proud of it! I did notice she may be a little dislexic with her numbers though-the twenties and the teens seemed to be mixed up a lot and the numbers were backwards. I guess we need to work on her numbers a little more!
Every night before bed they get to take a link off till Christmas. I also taught them how to make snowflakes today, Bekah did a pretty good job, but cutting that small of shapes was a bit challenging. The upstairs walls are getting covered in them!
We are going to try and do something holiday oriented each day of December-now that I am all done with presents, I can focus on just enjoying the month with my kids. Ahhh what a great feeling!
