Uu week

Monday- Pretty ok day until everyone walked away and I forced them back to the table. 5yo did trace a few Uu's on his unicorn page I got from first-school.ws. It was a bit difficult to find when I tried to go back to it. But just use the search option.
Then we sang some Jesus songs, and read and article in the friend. Amazingly, again, there was something that applied to kids' attitude. It was an article about a kid who was so excited to go to school and then found out that it isn't all learning about dinosaurs and trains and how bummed he was, but then his mom helped him research them on his own. My boys struggle with wanting to learn something other than what the teachers tell them to.

Watched sesamestreet.com because 5yo asked for it the day before and there were some pretty funny Uu videos. Next we went to the preschool table but the kids refused to color their Uu's from apples4theteacher.com. 2yo announced that she only wanted to cover hers in sand. Just like her Ss. I suppose that could be arranged. Preschool ended there. They didn't care about the state flag, or the number six page, or the fact that Utah's shape is like a big square with a little rectangle on it. Perhaps if I had made it with wood blocks. Hmm? Perhaps if I had had a Utah flag. That would have been really cool.
I've done a lot of rethinking about preschool this evening. I probably had plenty of coloring books with mazes and dot-to-dots and color by numbers but I bought some colorful ones from Crayola. I'm going to tone it down with the too advanced stuff and get back to daily coloring.
