English

Right now Amelie and Ricky are outside trying to open a rock (dinosaur egg) with a butter knife. I was torn between letting them explore or letting my youngest sleep. Roo is now awake.

This morning we did our first English lesson. I found this WONDERFUL series of books called "From start to finish" and decided to work an early program around it. Amelie reads the book to me first. Then she picks a sentence she wants to copy. That is at the top of the page. She then tells me a story and I write it down underneath that. She then draws a picture about the book and story. When we were finished she said..That was a lot of fun! I am so happy she enjoyed it!
