And now she knows....

.... her A, B, C's! Well, most of them ;-) We did our final letter this week and made a lovely orange and purple (her color choices) zebra for her final alphabet project. We played the same games we played week one and she's doing so well! Recognized 18 letters, she only knew 3 when we started!

I stopped posting updates a while ago, because I really don't think anyone out there is reading, but I'm glad to have this for myself, to look back at where we started off this school year. I'm probably not going to update this blog again. I'll grab what I want for scrapbook journals and then blow it up....

If there are lurkers out there who want me to keep going, speak now, before it's too late!

Week 21


One of the cutest craft projects yet! She worked hard on this one and was very careful with the coloring, I cut it out and she glued on the parts in the right places. This little tiger has personality!

Week 20

Our Focus:
Finally! S week! We've been waiting a long time for this letter. It's the one letter in her name that she has a hard time writing on her own. They usually end up backwards and often have a few too many curves. I thought this snake we made for her alphabet craft would have been fun, but it ended up being a little tedious. I printed and cut out this snake shaped like the letter S. Aislinn colored it and glued it to the construction paper. We should have stopped there, but I thought it would be fun to add String to our S Snake. I'll give her credit, she put on about 50% of the string before wandering away. The rest was added by yours truly.

Week 19

Our Focus:
She's following in her brother's footsteps and flying through all of my planned activities and begging for more. We're getting through 2 or 3 letters each week! This week's alphabet project was tons of fun. We made a Rainbow out of Rice! Color dry rice with food coloring and glue to paper! It's just that easy. And yes, it's just that messy too. We did this project at playgroup instead of at home. The little ones love it!
