February Artwork

Here's some pictures of all of our February artwork and what the boys have been learning about:

Saxon learned about Groundhog's Day, and he had a 100's party at school.
On his star, he had to write what he would want 100 of...
he said "Donuts".

Saxon loves when he has the chance to draw in church too, and he takes it very seriously.
This is from his lesson last week:
 
Bridger had a Valentine's Party this month (and Nate was able to go volunteer).
He also made a sock-snake for Chinese New Year and he loves it!



They also studied the human heart and I thought Bridger's picture was really good.
Usually he just scribbles, but this time he actually tried to draw something.
I was really proud of him!
A monkey counting game and Lincoln's log cabin:

  
They learned about their teeth, and they learned about the Presidents.
Bridger really enjoyed learning about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln and he spent the rest of the day telling me about them.
It's funny because different things resonate with different kids.
I thought it was cute that this is what he really paid attention to.
 

Dalton had a busy month too!
He made a butterfly at field trip Friday...

and he did some rubbing from coins at Bridger's preschool.

This is his drawing from nursery.
He was freaking out that I left and so his nursery leader decided to draw Star Wars with him and he loved it!  He carried it around with him for days!

Chinese New Year Calendar:
 
In Bridger's class, they learned about Chinese New Year.  Bridger was so excited to be the year if the RAT.  His teacher said he was the only kid excited about being a rat LOL.

The next week, Britt came over to go with us to Gymnastics.  We were telling her about Bridger being the rat, and she started looking up everyone on her phone.  Saxon was the dog (and he was thrilled) but he wanted someone else to be a dog too.  Luckily we discovered that Brittany's brother Dylan is also a dog, so Saxon isn't alone.

Baby Dalton Gregor and Big Gregor are both the year of the Tiger :)

The kids wanted to look up Aunt Brookie and thought it was hilarious to discover that she's a rooster.  
Bridger said "Ha ha, Aunt Brookie (although he said Burkie) is a Brooster!  What's a Brooster?"  
I told him that it's a boy chicken who says "cock-a-doodle-doo!"
Bridger: "Oh I know, a wood knocker."
Me: "A what?"
Bridger: "You know, the bird that knocks on wood with this nose."
Me: "I think that's a different bird."
Bridger: "No, it's the same.  Ha ha, Aunt Burkie is a Brooster who knocks wood with her face!"

It was so funny!
