HOME SCHOOL (4 2/3 YRS OLD)

S really is enjoying "homeschooling." At least that what S and momma call what they do once or twice a week. She says it's one of her favorite things to do. Momma spends a couple of minutes sounding out a letter and then the rest of the time is spent doing some workbooks or puzzle books or coloring. S has finished several Kumon "My First Book of ..." this way: The Easy Maze, Tracing, Upper Case Letters, and Cutting.

Sometimes, she has her own crazy project, like the time she wanted to make a sequin card for Talia. Or, needlepoint a teddy bear. The great thing about homeschooling is that momma and S get to spend some quality time with each other as well as give some time for momma to get stuff done when S is occupied with her cutting, pasting or coloring.

Today, S pushed through by herself and finished up the "My First Book of Lowercase Letters," with no prompting from momma. Afterwards, Momma tore out the certificate in back, put her name on it, signed it and hung it on her closet door. S was really proud of herself.
