Homeschooling Update

     Two weeks of homeschooling down!! CB has done amazing! She loves school, most days she begs to do it a couple times. I am so blessed by her eagerness to learn. 
     We are through letters A and B. She's done great with learning words that start with each letter and learning to write them. We are still working on writing letter B...Carly Beth's looks like a dumbbell. 
     Carly's favorite part of school is learning to read. She's doing great. Just another 10 lessons and she'll be reading words. 
     Homeschooling is definitely an awesome adventure for us. I'm so excited to share this with Carly Beth and with you :) 

Today was our Third Day...

Today, Carly practiced writing her name, we colored several "Letter A" coloring pages and did our reading lesson.

After dinner, Carly and I made some (semi-homemade) Apple Dumplings. She did most of the work other than cutting the apples. She is going to be quite the little cook!

Our Second Day of School

First of all, if you haven't picked up a copy of "Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons" for your preschooler, just do it. Carly Beth is 3 years and 2 months and she is really doing awesome. She begs to read every day.

Anyway, today was "A is for Apple" day. Carly's favorite part was eating her apple after class. But anyway, she practiced writing her letter A's and she described and colored some apples for our Alphabet Scrapbook.













Practicing our letter M and S sounds from our reading lesson.

First Day of (Home)Preschool

This morning was awesome...






We cut with scissors




We reviewed the alphabet...









We reviewed writing the letters...




AND...CB got her first (not inherited) Little Critter book!




We read it four times in a row...she's still reading it now actually.

What a great first day!

Day 1: Teaching Carly Beth to Read...

We started our reading lessons today. This book is beyond awesome. I highly recommend it. Carly Beth is so excited to learn to read. My only trouble is sticking to one lesson a day. :)
