School with Letter C

Each day or most days I try to get my son outside.  Not just to play but to explore and observe.  We look at what's around us as well as hunt for letters.  We go out looking for the letter of the week but, he also points out other letters and that's OK to.  That's part of reading.  Letter identification on everything we see and repetition brings the process full circle.  It may take to the next day or week when he catches on to a particular case lowercase letter.

We made no bake cookies because baking starts with b and we were all about the c.

No bake cookies take a little time to turn solid but if you watch them waiting goes quicker.

The sand on a walk is the perfect place to practice letter writing!

Each week I pick up a couple books with the letter as a word in the title. He has to identify the word.

C is for cutting.  He likes activities that let him use his scissors!  He is left-handed and I have to let him do his thing.

 

His cutting strips helped make c for popcorn.  Does that count?  We also used shaving cream and made cotton candy!  What a sweet week! 

We were greeted one morning by a Cicada! Perfect timing big fella! 

A peek at the desk for one day of the week.  I think he really enjoys seeing the new books and identifying the objects on it.

We finished our week with Chick Fil A. Chicken for the win!  This is one of the few places my little people eat all of their meals.

Thanks for following our journey.  Learning the letter c was a good week!  Did you see any new ideas to share with your little ones?  

Day 2 of 30 complete

  This day started out so good.  I woke up focused. Satisfied I had did well the first day and ready to take on the second.  I made an awesome smoothie after figuring out what I was finally going to have.  I am a breakfast eater and I had read that you get a better workout in if you eat something before hand so I always try to.  I settled on a peach oatmeal smoothie and I am glad I did.  I did use almond milk

that I bought for health reasons but I do drink and prefer good old cows milk but I thought I would experiment with almond milk on this journey.  I however did not buy the Greek yogurt.  I have the good old fatty stuff.  I know you can make you own and I have not messed with that yet.  This yogurt called for both and obviously I used the almond milk but just skipped the yogurt all together.  I guess it would have been thicker but it was just fine!

Workout went great and then I saw what day it was

Cows Appreciation Day at Chick Fil A.

If you dress like a cow you get a free meal. Which is great. It was me and two calves! Free lunch.  Well if you have discipline that's fine. They have salads for those people but I their fries are right up there on my list of (I know your just had surgery and can eat real food what do you want me to bring in for you list) ((and sweet tea)) So I eat the chicken sandwich meal with fries and a sweet tea. BUT it was one and that is huge for me.  I could win a sweet tea competition if there was one. (Note to self to Google that)

However the good thing from this was it was late for lunch and early for dinner so I was not hungry but, you are supposed to eat so I made a bowl of veggies to finish my night off.

There it is people my meals for the day.  I am just trying to keep it real. I am accountable for my own actions and results.

However ending this story with my workout will show you my dedication  and determination.  

My workout consisted of

 33 minutes on the elliptical, 

15 on the treadmill

various weights for legs

Late night jog around my neighborhood at 2.56 miles!

That was my day.  There's always tomorrow  and as far as I know nothing is being celebrated!!
