Preschool Update

I thought I would check in and show you some of the things Alex has been working on lately.  For the most part, we're enjoying letting the boys just play and be kids.  We read lots of books, play tons of board games (of course), play outside when it's warm enough, and make lots of projects.

Today he made this lovely pasta picture.  He said, "It's just like Angry Birds."  Not sure what that means.

Alex's routine lately is to wake up, play a little computer (great because it gives Mommy a chance to wake up), eat breakfast, and then he does his "schoolwork".  I have a packet of work ready for him each morning.  I pull pages from different Kindergarten workbooks.  Most of it, once I read him the directions, is pretty easy for him to complete independently.

Here's a sample of what he worked on today:

Letter writing 

Determining which picture words start with the same sound 

 Matching the pictures that start with the same sound

(this took him all of 4 seconds)

 Answering questions using a graph.  You can see it's not finished -- after writing out the words "pizza" and "hot dog" (copying the letters from the previous page), the kid was exhausted.  Mommy is nice and doesn't push him when he needs a break.  :)

We continue to work on reading skills with him.  He is able to sound out just about any 3 letter word with a short vowel in the middle (like big, net, bus, etc.).  We just started a computer reading program and will see how that goes as well.

That's our preschool update from Boomerang Drive!
