Long overdue for an update on a few of the fun things Abby has been learning. She just finished up her 3rd week of 'school' and looks to be loving it! I always knew she enjoyed learning and I hope that she continues to enjoy it.
My brave husband heads out into the cold every Tuesday and Thursday with three little girls in tow. Drops Abby off and then tries to entertain the other two for a few hours.
The first time we asked her what she did in school she stated "We eat snack, clean up and go home." Alright! I pay 100 dollars a month for snack time and for her to do something I've been wishing for since the early days of toddler hood... clean up... (just kidding) she does a lot more than that.
(By the way it is incredibly hard to write this article when I have six pairs of hands trying to point out the individual parts of Abby's artwork...)
Last night after I got home, Tom asked me to grab the papers out of Abby's backpack and show them to her. She can identify what letters objects start with... I mean I was pretty impressed when she knew that otter (a word I'm 99% sure she has heard like twice in her life) and octopus started with O... but I wasn't expecting her to tell me what the rest of the animals on the worksheet started out with. (Ok maybe it isn't as impressive but I'm her mom) I was just impressed that she could go beyond simple letter recognition to realizing that objects are attached to words and words have these letters.
She also told us all about the Bible story of Jesus healing the blind man with mud on his eyes and that the story summary was that "Jesus can do anything." (simple theology but she's three) No prompting... no pictures... my little girl is growing up!
She even made Tom tomato soup last night....
