-John 13:16



Cowboy tracing Letter V worksheet from Confessions of a Homeschooler on his Dry Erase Center .


Even though it was Valentines, and Vultures are not anything "Lovely", I still wanted to go over our Discussion Page to introduce what a vulture was :) 



 Size Sequencing with Hearts and Valentines Day Matching Game from Over the Big Moons Tot Pack





Conversation Hearts Magnet Printable Tray 


Of Course Cowboy LOVED this Tray and was super quick at finishing it so that he could eat the Hearts!! 




He did a fantastic job on his own !!! 




Then I helped build with him and showed him how cool it was to watch them get Smaller and Smaller as they went up 





Tech Time..

Cowboy Learned about the Letter V on the Ipad and Alphabet Soup Sorters , while Lou did some studying for Science on Quizlet. 


Butter helped make some yummy Confetti Heart Cupcakes !! He loved helping pour the ingredients and Stirring the batter.  


Heart Sorting and Beading Tray with Heart Beads


There are so many things you can do with this Tray! We Sorted, Filled the V, Counted, made patterns, and Cowboy insisted on making me a Bracelet :P

Happy Valentines Day from LearningInGrace <3



Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres 1 Corinthians 13 4:7
