Starting school

We started "school" this week! We started with the letter 'A' and we have been having a lot of fun. Noah loves to learn and he has been soaking it all up. He told me "This is my first letter", and I hadn't even told him that.

We have been learning what sound the letter A makes, and about Ants, Alligators, Apples, Ambulances and Animals - oh yes, and the color for the week: Aquamarine. :-) So cute to hear him say it. We have also learned that Abigail starts with A, as well as Aunt Grace, and Aunt Melissa.

We made an apple shaker tambourine, had ants on a log for a snack, and have been coloring pages of Alligators, Anteaters, and Apples. Noah made his own little ants (with his fingerprints) for the anteater to eat up, and learned that ants (and all insects) have 6 legs.

We are also starting math and learning that 1 ant + 1 ant = 2 ants. And 1 ambulance + 1 ambulance = 2 ambulances. :-) He loves to show Daddy what we have made and what he has learned when Daddy comes home.
