Getting Ready for Tomorrow!!!

Today is Labor Day! Tomorrow, I will oficially start Creston's FIRST DAY of Home-Pre-School!!! YAY!!!

We kinda already got started yesterday by letting him cut out shapes with his scisors. He did a really good job and cut out a square, rectangle, triangle, and circle pretty well! The circle was a bit iffy, but the rest were really good for a first time! He LOVES the scisors!

Today, on our way home from Boone, I would ask him what colors things were as we passed them on the road...so far, he knows Red, Yellow, Orange, Black, White, Blue, Green, & Blue. We are working on Brown (Mommy's hair is BROWN) and Purple! We'll take it one day at a time as we learn the new ones!

I'm wanting to start with the Alphabet recognition, so I found a great printables site on the WonderTime Magazine site. http://wondertime.go.com/create-and-play/article/ABC-printables.html I printed out the alphabet and put the pages into sheet protectors and placed them into a binder so we can "flip" through them easily! I also want to start working on getting him to at least recognize his name this week!

I've not nailed down a timetable for what we want to learn and at what speed, but as I figure it out, I'll post it here!

Hopefully this next year will be a good one filled with learning new things for all of us! There's so much that kids are expected to know when they start Kindergarten these days! If we do decide to enroll him, I want him to be on target with the rest of the children! If we keep him home, then I know he'll be just fine!!!

Hooray tomorrow!!!
