We began the day with our new morning basket routine. I will share more of that in the coming days once we have a week or so under our belt. But it is basically me reading out-loud from a basket of books I've put together. While I read both girls colored on the floor. That lasted for about a half hour or so and it was a good way to transition from wake up, breakfast, getting dressed etc to school time.
I then turned on the story of the Three Little Pigs from Draw Me a Story through Amazon Prime. I want them both to get more exposure to the stories that have been around for a long time!
We then did our daily weather report and after seeing that it was 55 degrees out we headed outside first for a walk around the neighborhood then another hour playing in the backyard. There was running, leaping, playing with the soccer ball and then the gathering of things that Marie-Therese found and decided she wanted to put in a "texture journal."
After a morning of reading & outside time we all were hungry for an early lunch. Afterwards we talked more about Leap Day and then made origami frogs to "leap" across the floor.
All in all as a first day of a more pulled together school time we were spontaneous, included more creative time, outside time, reading time & learning time. All things that I have been feeling the need to have more of.
