Friday!

Today was an end to our first week of home pre-schooling it! It was a good week.....I've learned many things myself already this week!

1. Creston is already the smartest kid I know! (I know, I'm biased!)

2. Creston does "school" better earlier than after 10:00am.

3. He has the attention span of a hyper ant!

4. He focuses really great one minute and can remember just about anything you ask of him, but the next minute, he can't remember a thing.

5. I'm going to have to take it in small increments and work at HIS pace, expecially since we aren't racing against the clock or anything ~ if he gets something, GREAT, only THEN will we move on...if he doesn't get something, then we need to stick to that and only that until he does get it. I need to throw out my great plans for getting through his alphabet all in 1 week, and have him reading by next week! That isn't going to happen! :o) (I did have grand dreams, though, didn't I?) Silly mommy!

He loves hands on stuff! He LOVES anything NEW! He LOVES having my one on one attention! And I LOVE HIM!!!! :o)

This morning, I printed off the Alphabet after I typed it up on one sheet for us to look at while singing the Alphabet. I had the printouts of each letter, but flipping them to the music was a bit aggravating. This way, we can sing, and I can point to each letter as we go! Hopefully this is a good way to help him recognize the letters as we say each one. I'll let you know how that goes! I REALLY would love it if he could at least recognize the letters in his name by the end of the month, but I won't hold my breath and we'll see what happens!

Our day was pretty much the same as the rest of the week...we did the Alphabet, shapes, numbers 1-5, & cutting! He STILL lives to cut!

Now we'll rest over the weekend!!! See you next week everyone!!!
