Welcome back to Littles Learning Link up! I'm sorry that I haven't been posting the link up, but we hadn't had co-op for such a long time, and then we had our short summer break. Thankfully, co-op was able to start back up this month (with social distancing guidelines of course). So, now I decided it was time to bring back Littles Learning Link Up.
- Posts where I share what I have been doing with the preschoolers and kindergarteners I work with at our homeschool co-op (including occasional highlight posts where I share how we used ideas that have been linked up here on Littles Learning Link Up).
- Possibly some updates on what I am doing with my kiddos here at home.
- The occasional round up post.
Each week, I will host a link up, where you can share either what you have been up to recently, or old posts that may go with the theme. Feel free to link up more than one post.
Each week I will continue to feature a couple of posts from those that have been linked up.
I hope you will continue to share your wonderful posts, and I hope you will find something new to try with your child(ren).
It would be great for everyone to stop by and visit the other linked-up posts as well. Check them out, leave some comments, pin those that interest you. Let's make this a real party and socialize with each other.

Here's a peek at what we have been up to in our homeschool.
These are the books we read to go with our craft:
This year we started back at the beginning of the Exploration to 1850 year of My Father's World. We had just gotten so far off track, and the children really hadn't remembered much, so I figured at first I was just going to review, but then I realized they would get more out of it if we focused on the curriculum. Tabitha, however, had kept going independently last year, so she is continuing to work on her own.
So, we are learning about very early American history. We are currently focusing on colonial times. I don't really have any pictures to share though.
For math, the children are all using CTCMath again.
For science Harold and Hannah are continuing with Experience Biology from Journey Homeschool Academy, which I posted a review for in July. Tabitha and Amelia are continuing to use NatureGlo's eScience. That review posted just a few weeks ago.
They are also working on writing practice in preparation for NaNoWriMo that starts in two days. I'm curious to see how their stories turn out. I'm hoping to have time to participate again this year. I didn't have time last year. And I have three stories that have been sitting since past NaNoWriMo's. My poor abandoned characters.
We do have two review products we are working with right now. In fact, they are our last for a while. I have decided to take a break from the Homeschool Review Crew. At least for this coming year. Who knows what the future may bring.
Anyway, we are learning about archaeology with Drive Thru History Adventures. That review will be posted next week. And Hannah has been reading a book titled, The Adventures of Rooney Cruz RINGLEADERS from Bible Belles. Look for that review in a couple of weeks.
PreK/K Lessons
Yay, I can post about our co-op lessons again! We have been focusing on fall themes these past four weeks. We started out talking about the four seasons, fall and re-learning some four seasons and leaf songs.
There are Four Seasons

There are four seasons in a year

First there's spring and then there's summer, then there's fall and winter too.

Leaves are Falling
Leaves are falling, leaves are falling
Trees are bright and leaves are falling
Leaf piles we'll make, we will rake and rake and rake
When trees are bright and leaves are falling
Autumn Leaves
Autumn leaves are falling down, falling down, falling down
Autumn leaves are falling down
Lots of colors
Autumn leaves are falling down, falling down, falling down
Red and orange yellow and brown
I Love Autumn
We took the children outside and hunted for pretty fall leaves.
Then we worked on a:
Fall Collage Sign Craft
The children cut out the letters F, A, L, and L, which I had printed out onto card stock.
Then they glued them to construction paper. I had taped two pieces together to fit the letters for the word "FALL." They got to choose which fall colored construction paper to use.
I had printed and cut out little pictures to go with each letter.
Fall flowers for F
Apples and Acorns for A
Leaves for L
Then they added some of their real leaves to the sign.
Here are a couple of things I would like to share with you:
Fall Leaves All Around Round Up
Scarecrow Fun Round Up

No button currently, and there won't be one until I can figure it out seeing as Photobucket has changed things. Feel free to still share the picture in place of the button. Just link it to my Littles Learning Link Up permalink please.
