Family Preschool
About a month ago, I started a little preschool class with Eliza and Caleb. We do it everyday after naptime for about an hour. I am using an alphabet curriculum (Letter of the Week) that incorporates math, science, social studies, religion, art, reading, and English. The kids love learning, I have lots of fun, and it really helps fill our afternoon with good things and avoid the pre-dinner grumpies.
Both Eliza and Caleb have really surprised me with the things they have picked up. It's so fun to see them learn and exceed my expectations.
I need to be better at taking pictures of what we do.
Making a letter A snack.
Eliza reciting "A Little Red Apple," the poem we memorized during letter A week.
Caleb's rendition of "A Little Red Apple."
Friend Preschool
We are also participating in a co-op style preschool/playschool with some friends from church. We meet twice a week for two hours. There are 10 kids and all pretty much fall between the ages of Caleb and Eliza (she is the oldest and he is the next-to-youngest). Eliza and Caleb each had their week to host (and me to be the momma in charge) already so we could get it in before the new baby comes. It can get a little rowdy, but we had lots of fun.
I'm reading them an extended version of "If You're Happy and You Know It" with lots of fun actions and the kids are loving it.
Eliza loved stringing colored pasta to make a necklace.
See! They can sit still!
