What a great first couple of days of our home education journey. One of the great things about teaching my kids at home is the flexibility. Avalynn went and spent some much needed time with her Nawnie and Papa so we only had a couple of days that we intentionally did school. She did have lots of fun with her cousins and grandparents. She has learned the letters we've been discussing very well. Both of the kids really loved the library so that will for sure be something we do all the time. I have also found a few museums that we will be go to check out in the near future.
Treyton has actually started to talk more. Of course he does this after I set up an appointment for a screening with early intervention. We are going to still keep the appointment just to make sure we are doing the best we can for him. He has also benefitted greatly in the few days that we have done our letter studies. Treyton thought the library was pretty awesome. He was going back and forth from one room to the other looking at everything taking it all in. I always love watching my kids in a new place that they can take in at their own pace with no pressure.
We are all enjoying learning through everyday things. My kids really love to watch movies. One of our favorites is the Toy Stories. Avalynn told me she wanted a pig like Pig the piggy bank. She has one so I got it out for her and Treyton to look at. We ended up emptying it and putting all of the coins back in. This little piggy bank has entertained my kiddos for a couple hours already and giving them lots of fine motor skills practice. We are also using the songs in our movies to have dancing time. Treyton is learning to jump and getting brave trying to jump from one thing to the other. Of course Avalynn loves to join in and show brother that the couch makes a very good trampoline.
I everyone's new year is treating them well and all of you going back to school have an amazing semester.
