How to fold a fitted sheet
A few years back, Martha Stewart taught me how to fold a fitted sheet the right way. Well, not really in person {I wish}; but the Martha Stewart Homekeeping Handbook sure did help.
A friend recently requested a video for these instructions on how to fold a fitted sheet. Turns out, they are the same instructions from the book.
So, while I'm a few weeks late on delivering this video...here it is, friend.
I don't like the way I sound on camera, so I'm only demonstrating the steps. I hope it helps. :)
Oh, and please excuse the funny noises that Bubba is making. He wanted to be a part of the video too.

Boyschool - Letter Y
Letter: Y
PreK Letter Y - Letter of the Week curriculum from Confessions of a Homeschooler.
Learn with Me Math Basics - He was all about this book this week. He completed 3 new pages from the book, plus a few old ones that we turned into file folder games.
Bubba also did The Number 5 count and color worksheet from TLS Books. I forgot to get a picture of him working on it. Then, he decided he wanted some cutting practice, and cut the worksheet into a million tiny pieces.
Y is for Yoko Yak
We read the book Yoko Yak's Yakety Yakking by Barbara deRubertis, about a million times. It is a very cute story about a very yakety yak. I'm looking forward to reading more of the Animal Antics series with Bubba, since he really enjoyed this book.
Bible ABC's - Y is for Yoke
Shape: Square
Number: 5
Bible Verse: "For my yoke is easy and my burden is light" Matthew 11:30
Bubba wasn't overly interested in the activities I had planned this week. So he chose most of the things we did this week.
Yellow Yarn Y - I drew an uppercase and lowercase Y on a piece of card stock, and cut short strips of yarn to be glued on the letters. This craft is from the book Alphabet Art: With A to Z Animal Art & Finger Play {I apparently can't follow directions, and gave Bubba yarn in a variety of colors...oopsies}.
Yelling "Yippie" letter Y - Kathy Ross Crafts: Letter Shapes
PreK Letter Y - Letter of the Week curriculum from Confessions of a Homeschooler.

Bubba made is own yakety yak. This is another craft from Alphabet Art: With A to Z Animal Art & Finger Play.
Then he pretended he was a yak climbing on steep "rocks" {for about an hour...yay!}.
