we can learn at home

Today we had so much fun practicing the letter A, we read books, did patterns, put together a puzzles, did apples biggest to smallest and painted with do a dots - seriously those bingo ladies are on to something!!! 
I've never played with do-a-dots before but I got them at Micheal's and was pleasantly surprised.  They were easy enough for my 2-year old to use but entertaining for my 4 year old too. As you can see from the picture they are nice and big and easy for the smaller hands to grasp and manipulate.  

I think I'll make a turkey sheet that they can decorate with do-a-dots next week. 

But today reassured me that yes I can teach my children and it can be fun.  We had a blast hanging out together doing this stuff and I felt so good when we finished.  I'm super excited for next week when we focus on what we are thankful for.  Even my oldest who goes to a public school is excited to be off next Wednesday to do "school" with us!
