Bubbles, Baths, and Reading Fun

It was another great week in our homeschool preschool with Mother Goose Time! Our curriculum took us into the "bubble" portion of our Bubbles, Boats and Floats unit this month. I took this wonderful opportunity to teach our children about the importance of bath time. Baths in our family are done OFTEN, mainly because my children are happy and contained in one place when in the bath! Ha! When Jonathan was a baby, I remember putting him in the bath as many times as twice a day, because he was happiest while in the water. I have so many sweet photos and videos of that time!

So, needless to say, the day MGT spent on baths was one of my kids favorites. The activities were unique and we had so much fun!

Our first project had the kids creating themselves taking a bath. It was such a fun project and all the supplies were sent by MGT. Y'all, (Look at me! I'm so southern already! We move to South Carolina in 4 weeks. Haha!) I didn't even have to cut out the little people! MGT sent it perforated, so all I had to do was punch it out. A-MAZING!

 Mother Goose Time provides these wonderful books every month that include the sounds and sight words we've been working on. Jonathan was able to read most of this book on his own the first try. I am so happy with how far he has come with his reading. He is a good reader now!

The last activity was so much fun! The kids were to roll the pocket cube, draw the shape on the bubble mat, and erase it using soapy water. Jonathan was able to fully participate in this activity. To make it easier for Hope, I had her trace the shapes from previous months, and wash with soapy water. This was definitely their favorite activity. Learning is so much more fun when you can get messy! Ha!

We also spent some time out at the water table squirting with bath toys. They had fun learning how to fill the toy with water and squirting it into the other side, one another, and their mother. So much fun on a warm day!

I am so blessed to be able to watch my kiddos grow through homeschool. Thank you, MGT, for the opportunity to learn alongside my children.
