Learning fun!

We have recently enrolled Emily in a preschool program for this fall-- thanks to my mom who has offered to fund it! We are so excited about this opportunity for Emily and can't wait to watch her continue to grow and develop. We also believe it will help prepare her for preschool/kindergarten the next year (Lord willing) in Hungary. One of the things the director told me they would be working on in her 3 yr old class is handwriting. I figured if she is going to do handwriting I better start working more intentionally with her on recognizing her ABC's. She knows a few, and obviously knows her alphabet song, but I found some fun things on the web to help encourage her ability to recognize her letters. This week we started with "A"...she seemed to love it!


 Here she is checking out the worksheets I had printed off...

 It didn't take her long to get into it!

She was so proud!

Working on "little a"

I also found some verses to go along with each letter so we could have a memory verse for each lesson.

After our ABC's we decided to get out the sorting blocks and have some more fun! Here she is sorting her colors.

And, after a bit we turned on Pandora to listen to some music while we played. The song, "Everlasting God" came on and she took this stack of blocks, stood up, and started singing as if she were performing with a microphone...she cracks me up!
