This week Kaleb was beyond excited when I pulled out a special black bag that he knew was JUST for him ~ the All About Reading Level Pre-1 program. He was especially enamored with Ziggy Zebra, the puppet that comes as a part of the program, and he spent the better part of the week attached to my arm. Apparently learning is much more fun when a puppet is the one talking to you.
Since these are the only pictures that I have from this week, you can get a little peek at the two of us learning together.
We have a growing collection of letter crafts that go along with each letter that we learn too.
The most fun of the week though has been rhyming words. Part of the lessons involve using rhyming cards and that rhyming practice has spilled over into other parts of our day too. Sometimes Kaleb is right, and other times he is wrong, but the fact that he is trying is much fun.
Other than reading, Kaleb finished up his Kumon Uppercase Letters book. He pulled it out and I asked him to work on one page for that day. I left the room for a bit to work with Zachary on something else, assuming he would have his play time when he finished the page. Instead, he finished TWELVE pages…completing the book. Thursday he moved on to the Kumon Book of Numbers and next week we’ll pull out the Lowercase Letters book too.
We’re still working on the Beginning with God devotional to go along with the Beginner’s Bible. I’ve been adding in some coloring pages to go along with each of the lessons since Kaleb has been much more interested in coloring lately also.
While we didn’t have a particular theme this week, we are definitely gearing up for some fun next week ~ gardening!! I can’t wait to share all the fun stuff that we’ll be doing as we participate along with the Homeschool Village Garden Challenge too. I’m putting the finishing touches on a new preschool pack all about gardening. :)

Wonderful pics =)
thanks! :)
I have so few of the two of us together since I’m usually on the other
end of the camera. :)
I love seeing pictures of you and your little Buzz! Sweet stuff.
he wore the SAME outfit 4 days this week!! haha!! he’s been flying
around our house everywhere. :)
I also love the photo! That is so exciting that he is wanting to do all these things. What a proud moment. Awesome!
I have the wrong link on one of my link ups. Sorry. I shouldn’t link from my phone anymore. =p It should be

Love the first picture, captures a wonderful moment! :)
GREAT Buzz outfit !! thanks for helping us!
I’ve just started reading your blog and love it! My daughter is 3 and learns Nothing in preschool, so I’m thinking of doing a “sort of” homeschool for her, but don’t have a clue where to start. She knows her uppercase and lowercase letters, letter sounds, and numbers up to 20. She knows how to write her name, and has started learning to print other letters as well. What would you suggest we start with?
My main suggestion ~ just keep building on what she DOES know, play lots
of games and have fun!! Don’t rush or push her into too much ~ play time
is JUST as important as anything else. What she knows is amazing!!! :)
Kumon workbooks are a great place to start with writing letters/numbers
and they go in a great order {starting with straight lines, etc…}.
There are other ways you can work on letter formation too ~ sand/salt
box, gel packs, writing in pudding {yum}, rolling playdough,
chalkboards, etc… Biggest thing? Have fun!!
Looks like you two have a loveable learning time! Thank you for sharing.
ooo! Can’t wait for the gardening! You rock! :)
Thanks for this! I, too, love the Kumon books. Things that my son (between the ages of 3 and 5) was NOT excited about suddenly became things he wanted to do for an hour at a stretch. We had the same experience where I left him to do a couple pages and he came back to me with the book finished. :)
Isn’t that funny? Just a few months ago he would fuss and whine about
some things and now he wants to do them all the time. It’s so funny when
something ‘clicks’ inside them!
Yes, it is, and I love it!!
Looking forward to the garden unit….sounds like fun!
The garden challenge sounds fun!
