School

Tonight, I held a little preschool class in the kitchen.  I figured it was time to really step up our game and get Ellie working on her letters.  She does a good job with them, but practice makes perfect and we want her going into PreK knowing as much as she can.  Ellie loves school.  So does Ashtyn!  I did a couple letter lessons and we worked on a couple basic sight words.  Ashtyn worked on the letters A, B, C and D.  She wanted to move on quickly, but she could remember the sounds and recognize the letters A and B.  We will see if she remembers them tomorrow. 
Ellie practiced recognizing uppercase and lowercase A and B.  Then she practiced writing them.  We worked on a couple connect the letter pictures as well as a couple mazes.  She loved the mazes.  When it was time to practice sight words, she really didn't like it.  She wanted to move on quickly.  Finally, we read the Step 1 book Cinderella.  Ellie got a little embarrassed and didn't want to point to the words when I was teaching her 1 to 1 correspondence, but Ashtyn jumped right in to pick up where Ellie left off. We finished the school lesson sitting on the coach with daddy and finishing the book.
