School Time!
A few days a week, while the boys are asleep, I will be teaching Makenzie a little preschool. She'll go to school next year when she's 4 but it's possible we may just do preschool at home and put her right into kindergarten when she's 5. She already knows her ABC's by sight (upper and lower case) and can say them. She knows her shapes, colors, can count almost up to 20, and starting to do opposites. I thought I'd start her out on one of each for the day and see where that takes us for future lessons :) Her first lesson was on writing....how to trace the letter "A" # "1" and a rectangle. She did very well! This first picture is only after about 5 attempts at tracing and it looks pretty dang good if you ask me!!
Her first attempt...apparently I didn't feel the need to flip the picture, sorry. I LOVE this book!! It's a dry erase letter book!!
When we were all done she got to color but I wanted to see if she could freehand what she just learned. I'd say she did a pretty darn good job!!! She drew me a balloon on a string, which I didn't ask for, to the left of that is the letter G, which again I didn't ask for and how she new that was beyond me. To the right of the balloon is the letter A, it is connected in the middle, you just need to look hard. The two long lines next to the letter A is the number 1, she drew them the whole length of the page :) The rectangle is surrounding everything :) She was soooo proud of herself and so were mommy and daddy!!!!! So far so good!!!!
Learning the number 1
Ready and excited the learn!!!!
Following directions.....which is following the path.

grandma and grandpa are proud of her , too.
That's actually really good for her age. Neither of the boys could do anything like that until they were 4 and Anna is just learning to write and not doing that good! Kenzie's a smarty!
