Theme for our studies this week
Are you sitting down?? We had a garden theme. I know, I know... we had a theme last week, too. I'm just as surprised as you are.
We mainly used this wonderful Garden Preschool Pack from Homeschool Creations. Robbie loved it!!

I am praying for my child to
Continue to love learning and grow to be a self-confident, compassionate and tolerant man... but the man part doesn't need to rush itself.
I love that he loves to learn...

Robbie's outfit is very nice! I am glad that you're safe - tornado must have been very scary!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the garden theme! :)
ReplyDeleteWe had tornadoes all around, but they skirted around us. So devastating to see all the news reports and photos about so many who lost homes and lives. Glad y'all are ok.
Yikes on the tornado! What scary weather! We read My Garden recently too. We loved the pastel drawings! Stopping by from Weekly Wrap-up!
