community helpers - police officers!

Today, Ethan and I worked on the policeman lapbook. He really enjoyed it and I enjoyed spending some one-on-one time with him! He already knows his colors and shapes, so these components were a review for him. A couple of weeks ago, he got hang of tracing lines, which is a great pre-writing skill. The new skill he learned today was patterning. The girls helped him when he would let them! He LOVED the fingerprint book, which worked on counting 1-10! I think that was by far his favorite part! We all talked about road signs and what each one means and why we have road signs. Then that led into a discussion about our house rules and rules that God has given us to live by. Gracelyn put together the police car on the back of the lapbbok.

community helpers - firemen!

We finally finished up our lapbook on firemen! Hopefully, the next community helper won't take us as long to finish! As always, I pulled in different ideas to compile together for our lapbook. My goal is to make lapbooks that all 3 of my kids are interested in.
