Today was a good day for learning, and for fun. During the afternoon, we made "Alphie the Alphabet Worm", or rather- I did.
Interesting enough, Youngling wanted to do extra work today, so I let her practice writing the letter "D d". She is doing pretty well, but still gets a mite frustrated with the lowercase letter. I don't blame her for the confusion between "b" and "d". lol
Youngling did very well with her workbook. She is still trying to fully grasp matching consonant sounds, but she is getting there. Slowly, she is understanding the connection, and is needing less guidance.
I am surprised at how well behaved Youngling is, while doing her schoolwork. She is sitting very nicely, and is quite intent on her work. Youngling honestly enjoys her schoolwork, and that makes things so much easier. When she is happy, I am happy.
This evening, Youngling's exercises were on the letter "F f", which has caused my lips and tongue to go numb. *laughs* If I have to say "fish" any more, I am liable to suffer a severe injury.
When it is time for bed, our evening reading has been going very well. Actually, it is difficult to appease Youngling, who wants to keep reading another chapter. She is enjoying "Little Women", and she races off to her room to pick out the book when we are settling down for the night. We are more than half-way through it though, so it will not be much longer before we will have to move on.
