What"s in your jar?

For art today, I gave the kids a jar shaped piece of paper and asked them to use their imagination to fill them.  Here's what they came up with:



It was a really fun project!  From left to right: Arianna, Emma and Grant.  
We are reading The a Chronicles of Narnia as a family (we're on Prince Caspian) and this week Emma decided to pick it up and start reading it on her own from the start.  I love to see her read!  Arianna is reading Stuart Little (which I read to them a couple of years ago) and really enjoying it, too.  I am so proud of them!
Grant has started to really be interested in writing.  I haven't wanted to push it at all, but he is asking for help writing words.  For example, we started a Gratitude Journal as a family and Grant wanted to join in.  Here's one of the pages:
You can easily spot Grant's entries- the G at the front and the BIG writing!  Emma is such a sweet girl.  Look at all those entries!

  1. I love this!

    I did the jar activity when I was in school except that we had one big paper with various sizes of jars on it to fill.

    We have 1 Little House book left and then we are planning to read Narnia too!

    We do "thankfuls" each night after family scriptures and before prayer. We haven't done a journal, but that is a fun idea.

    Great minds think alike!
