The little two have put in a ton of learning since we "kicked off" school the last week of July/first of August.
Tot School looks a lot like this:
Loads of floor puzzles...
Lots of reading stories...
Tons of dress up and imaginative play!
A wee bit of seat work...
Naps, blessed naps...
Scores of fun with the new "busy binder" that mommy made...
Measuring (and eating)...
coloring!
Matching and gluing!...
And more puzzles!...
Overall, Zayden is pretty contented. He joins in at calendar most of the time,
and has picked up most of the letter sounds I'm introducing to Ameliya. He knows almost all of his capital and most of his lowercase letter names, just by way of being aware of the world around him and paying attention. He knows shapes, most colors, and numbers. He's learning to count and working on 1-to-1 correspondence. More importantly, he's getting so much better at quick obedience, cleaning up after himself, and being a friend!
Together these two learning companions like to play games, re-read their Bible stories, and read books.
Preschool looks a lot like this:
Reviewing a letter and learning a letter sound every week and doing excellent!!...
Practicing cutting and gluing skills...
Fine tuning fine motor skills with stickers...
Counting, measuring, and comparing (but not eating because Dad bought whales and not fish - LOL)...
Enjoying the busy binder that mom made!...
Dot painting and identifying...
1-to-1 correspondence, number identification, and more gluing...
Sand writing...
Ameliya loves school. She loves learning and being included and feeling valued. She challenges me everyday to not "push her aside." Truthfully life would be easier if she just wanted to play instead of be actively at the table doing lessons, but what fun is easy anyways!? I love her drive and determination to not be left behind! She'll be kindergarten ready next year!
