1st week of School!!

Theme: X marks the Spot

Letter: X

Artist: Claude Monet

(I will slowly add in more as the weeks continue such as a bible verse, hymn, and character qualities as well as shapes, colors, and numbers for Nolan) 

We were on vacation for the 1st half of the week so we schooled in the hotel room and around the Vail, Co area. It was a fun way to stay entertained while Ben was at his golf tournament during the day. 

Searching for the letter "X"

Opening God's Treasure: The Bible

Practicing writing the letter "X" but she wanted to make the letter "H" at 1st, silly girl. 

Getting it down

Look at all those pretty letter "X's"

The "X"-person

We found a pirate ship playground in Vail that just went absolutely perfect with our "X" marks the spot theme!

Happy to make the letter "X"

I read Nolan a cute pirate adventure book

They made a treasure map that we will use throughout the year to map what we learned each week. Alivia wrote the "X" for the end of the map. 

Great 1st week of school!
