Round Three

After the older boys were back in school, I started doing a little preschool at home with Nicholas and Eliana. We're just learning a letter a day - trying to keep it simple. We learn the letter and its sound, practice writing it, make a letter craft, then read stories relating to the letter. When we've completed the whole alphabet, we'll move on to numbers and then it's back to letters.

Nicholas and Ellie call it "Mommy Preschool." I call it "I'm sorry that you are almost four and I'm only now beginning to talk with you about the alphabet" school. Thank goodness he doesn't start kindergarten for another two years . . . maybe by then we'll be caught up. At least Ellie will be ahead of the game.

A is for Alligator

E is for Elephant
The multi-colored elephants are because we read this story.


And tomorrow . . . it's G for Gruffalo.

Awesome! Keep posting your letter crafts so I can copy them for Drew Boy. He needs to get a little learning in him.
