Our new header! This is such a beautiful design! I had a beautiful new friend help me with this. She is such a kind and gentle spirit and feel so blessed that she took the time to help me (without even knowing me!).
Do you like using recyclables? This is what I thought of doing with our old desk calendar backing. To see the entire post, please CLICK HERE.
Montessori Math: One Hundred Chart
Play Time
French: Les Couleurs (The Colors)
We started off saying “Bonne Année!” (Happy New Year).
Then we talked about Sydney’s birthday and sang “Joyeux Anniversaire à Toi” (Happy Birthday to You).
We reviewed the colors in French with our handy dandy flashcards and then we read a very special book. It has special effects and the kids were fascinated with it. We had a lot of fun reading it and talking about the colors. There was a lit of French text in it, but I would read it and translate each sentence to English.
We finished up making a quick “Bonne Année” card. 🙂

Homeschooling Co-op Gym/Ballet
In Ballet, we only had the two girls, but it was lots of fun. We talked about lost teeth, pierced ears and such. 🙂
We had a hard warm-up and some muscle-building exercises for legs. We also did all of our rhythmic counting in French. We loved it!
Homework:
1) do all five positions, feet only
2) do all five positions, arms only
3) do all five positions, both feet and arms
You can refer to the chart I gave them for Christmas.

Spanish: Feliz Año Nuevo (Happy New Year)
We talked about new years and what they mean. We talked about goals and how things are “new” when a new year starts. We made posters that say “Feliz Año Nuevo, chorizo con huevo.” It literally means “Happy New Year, chorizo and eggs.” It makes no sense, but it is a very common saying in Mexico because it rhymes.
