B is for Bee

Ryan and I have started working (more intentionally) on our alphabet and numbers. I finally decided on a weekly "plan" to help me keep on track. The goal as of now is to do one letter a week, and two numbers a week. We did 'A' a few weeks ago then had to take a week off due to the fact that I ran out of printer paper to print off half his projects. This week was the letter 'B'. I had a friend lead me to this website which has TONS of creative ideas to use for your kids. I downloaded the Alphabet Craft book to use. My goal is to also head to the library once a week, preferably on Mondays, and pick out books that have the letter of the week in the title. It couldn't have worked out more perfectly this week! The craft for this week was a bee and one of the books we picked up was Brilliant Bees by Linda Glaser. So after we made our Bees Ryan wanted to head outside to find some flowers for his honeybee so they could make some honey. And then he also chased me with it and "stung" me and informed me that then his bee died. So not only did he learn a new letter, but he learned about bees! How cool is that?! Colin also made a bee (with mom's help) and he was flying his around making buzzing noises. I'm so proud of my boys! Here are a few pics of the bee searching for a flower.
