O, P, Q, R, S, T, U and V

I can't believe that we have covered all of these letters since I typed last about homeschool.  Sadly, I am not even sure if I can recall what we did with some of those letters.  So here goes nothing:

O. I do know that we played with some "O" sight words for this week.  We played a game of "on" and "off" using some sight word cards. I would love to think we did an owl craft, but I am pretty sure that did not happen ;0).
P. I was prepared for "P" week.  We went to the post office, mailed a package to ourselves, made peanut butter cookies and got out a couple of new puzzles.

 
 
Q. The only thing I remember about "Q" week was that we had some Q themed library books. Oh yes, we crafted some with Q tips :0).
R and S week were pretty well neglected.  We were sick for a majority of both those weeks, so mommy was just trying to make it through.  As we live in the NW, "R"ain was probably mentioned, and "S" was definitely for Sick.
T. This week I think we were trying to make a comeback. We played with the train tracks, talked about tigers and I am sure there was a tickle or two throughout the week. We even did some tongue twisters :0)
U. Again, being from the NW, we did Umbrella crafts and sang rainy day songs.  And, now don't come all Undone, we baked pumpkin pie...just because.

 
V. The week isn't done yet, but it seems like it was full of errands...or we could call them Visits! And I am happy to say that the boys really loved playing with the Vacuum!

Looking at this list makes it look like our weeks aren't very full.  But this doesn't include many of our weekly routines (grocery shopping trips, MOPs days, Library story time,  and going to daddy's work for lunch) and it also doesn't include all the time we have for free play (which often has plenty of teaching/learning opportunities).  And since the weather has been getting nice (here and there) we have had lots of outdoor play time lately!!
