The girls are napping, and I should be cleaning the kitchen.\u00a0 Since I’ve been dawdling for a little while anyway, I might as well write a quick post.<\/p>\n
About a month ago Kayla and I started playing “school.”\u00a0 Knowing we wouldn’t have transportation during the day when we were in Detroit, I packed all sorts of educational materials and craft supplies to keep us busy in the hotel.\u00a0 Kayla fell in love with “school” immediately and has wanted to do it ever since.\u00a0 Even when she was sick with the stomach flu she still asked to do school (though we had to take a quite a few sick breaks to the bathroom).<\/p>\n
A couple weeks ago I started keeping a calendar with all the fun things we’ve been doing during our school time.\u00a0 Usually we do it from about 9:30 to 11:00 each morning while Madeline naps.\u00a0 Kayla has such a passion for learning!\u00a0 She’s like a sponge and just soaks up everything I teach her.\u00a0 Right now she loves trying to spell words.\u00a0 She will pick a word (like zebra, for example) and then we’ll start breaking apart all the sounds.\u00a0 She tells me which letters we need, and pretty soon we’ve spelled a word.\u00a0 She’s so eager to read already!\u00a0 She spends much of the day talking about words and letters.\u00a0 We also have a typing program on our computer for kids that really helped Kayla learn her lower case letters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
