Math . . .

After Thanksgiving, we introduce place value!

. . . Although place value will not be a new concept to either Selah or Shepard. We discussed it just the other day while standing in line at WalMart. We count the check-out aisles as they are numbered up to twenty something. Of course, only four are openend - but we still are learning our teens and twenties this way. . .

Selah Reads Words!

We're doing great on letter-sounds.

We're putting the sounds together now and reading real words!

m - a - t spells mat!

b - a - m spells bam!

Phonics & Handwriting

I'm pretty sure Abraham Lincoln learned to write on a chalkboard like this.

. . . And he probably had fun at it! . . . made his poor mama cry laugh.

Please don't confuse Shepard's excitement for folly. The Boy's a genius-in-waiting!
