Halloween 2020 was a fun filled day.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

  • we read Pumpkin Heads! By Wendell Minor in the morning
  • chilled out and had some lunch
  • explored our neighborhood a bit while trick or treating
  • came home to rest and read Stumpkin by Lucy Ruth Cummins
  • snacked on some candy
  • has dinner and played
  • read Halloween Is… by Gail Gibbons at bedtime and learned all about its history

I was really happy to get in more pumpkin inspired books for our nature study while celebrating the holiday, all from our library. Hope you all had a great Halloween.

We officially dove into this weeks nature study today, Pumpkins! Over the weekend we carved a silly pumpkin so that was sort of when we started. Today, Elliot and I did a bunch of fun projects and practiced letters and numbers with pumpkin inspired lessons.

  • we read The Pumpkin Fair by Eve Bunting
  • painted a watercolor pumpkin
  • practiced numbers and writing the letter P with worksheets from @lively.little.home
  • created a mosaic P with pumpkin seeds
  • made little pumpkins with air dry clay

It was a busy fun filled day! We also enjoyed being outside just when the sun came out, had a numbers lesson and played a new matching game. A nice way to start the week.

These past few weeks I’ve been working with @beebosnak to get her new course platform ready so she can launch her signature program, Thrive Mentorship. I built a series of pages to support the application process and course, all aligned with her branding. I’m really happy with how it all came out. This is the new home of all her signature Thrive offerings, which has been streamlined for easy navigation and access.

Feel free to take a look around. Applications for the mentorship close tomorrow at 12pm so if you feel that you need support to live your passion and be successful this opportunity could really be key to getting there. Learn more at thrivewithbee.com
