Dragonfly Preschool

This week has been jam packed. Dragonfly has experienced many practical life experiences and lessons this week. This is the last week we will be using our winter theme. I look forward to the hearts and love of February. I pulled out a new preschool workbook and Dragonfly completed several pages from it. This week we discussed Shapes, Numbers, Letters and their sounds, Opposites, Bigger and Smaller, and handwriting. On Thursday, I took Dragonfly to the pool at the Y and gave her some lessons in swimming. She had such a good time and I loved listening to her laugh!

Dragonfly was very interested in helping to cook this week. She helped take the ends off of the green beans and then I caught her eating them as she worked.

She helped keep an eye on the cookies. We made a new recipe and they were delicious. I actually think the batter is better raw. Since the batter does not have eggs in it, the batter is perfectly fine to eat.

Recipe:

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

1c regular oatmeal

1c Oat flour

1c Natural Nut Butter (we used peanut butter)

1/2c Homemade applesauce

1/3c Honey

1/2c raisins

1tsp cinnamon

Mix all together and bake at 350 for 10-12 mins.

"Mom, this words is IS." I guess she has really been paying attention to her sister's sight words.

Playing dress-up with her friend. Her friend has a little baby sister. We also visited another sweet new baby. Dragonfly is learning so much about little babies. She wants nothing to do with the babies but loves to care for her baby dolls when we get home. There are also a lot of pregnant moms and Dragonfly has started walking around with her baby under her shirt.
