Unfortunately I don't have any photos this week, but I do have some great links!
Kaelyn has been wanting to plant plants, and I unfortunately had to inform her that that season has really come and gone. So I spied some of those tiny little pots with seeds included at the Target dollar spot and we have been learning about plants all week.
This site here has a GREAT game that teaches about how a plant grows. It also has a lot of other great resources and games. Kaelyn enjoyed pouring water on her virtual seed and watching the roots grow and a sprout form.
This site has great information on the purposes of each part of a plant. It's also got a "tree video" that my daughter loved to watch.
I uploaded a few free games for the girls and they have enjoyed them. They are Toddler Quiz. Which I was hoping would quiz Anna on colors, but it quizes on a lot more than just that. And then SantaCount, which is a fun count the presents game.
Kaelyn had an overwhelming desire to read this week, so she started out on a book she picked out. Needless to say it was FAR above her abilities, but it was what she wanted. She did a great job and recognized a few sight words I didn't know she could (Is, He, and On). I am just excited that the desire is there! FINALLY!!!!!
We've also been entertaining a lot of questions here lately regarding the body. Which is great because we've been using our body book!
Aside from some accidently addition and subtraction, color recognition and shape recognition,we haven't managed to do formal school this week!
Here is what other families have been up to over at Preschool Corner!

Tonight we've been working in the progressive phonics book and I don't want to jinx anything but I am seeing the lightbulb flash on for reading! It's still pretty dim, but she's finally coupling the desire to read with ehr knowledge of phonics!!
