April Can Count As Summer, Right?

So, I'm officially calling it Summer Break! I've decided we're ending on V - for Victory!! (How often are you gonna use x, z, and qu as a 4 year old anyway?) We close on our house in three weeks, pack up and move in five. If we have any free time in the midst of that, it will be spent on tickling, kisses, and soaking up all the grass and trees we can get!

I hope...if nothing else...that our journey through "preschool" will encourage any doubters out there that the proper education of a child makes wisdom its end, not the amount of information that can be regurgitated. To quote the most Biblical scholar I know:

"Information becomes knowledge when you apply it; knowledge becomes wisdom when it becomes part of your soul." - Walter Henrichsen

For those who want more ideas on teaching kids how to apply information through the grid of God's Word, we will be back for round 2 of Preschool for Dummies in August.

Don't Ask

I've had a house showing every single day for the past week! Lesson plans and preschool just ain't happening right now! Hopefully all these showings will end in an offer so we can get back to enjoying life!

Math

Brody does a great job reading 3 letter words and a decent job writing his letters, but what he REALLY excells at is math! I was amazed how quickly he blew threw "Yoke Addition" with 1,2, and 3 ox. This video shows that it takes adding 5 and 3 ox to slow him down...and even then...not for long! Not bad for an almost-4-year-old!

(PS....he did NOT get the math gene from his mother!!)

"Y" not!

Just under the gun, but here it is...Week 25: Letter Y. I had a hard time finding good books at my branch of the library so I had to make a few hold requests to have some better options sent my way. Hopefully y'all will have better luck!

Also, I've FINALLY video-taped us running through a 3 part-drill (during our circle time) and as soon as I have a second I will try to upload it.

Almost "Y"...but until then...

I'm putting the finishing touches on Letter Y, but until then I thought I'd share a little blurb from our life. This is what math looks like when you have a little boy...and who says you have to sit still to understand things?
