Kids Learning Stuff

I was concerned at the beginning of the school year when Owen didn't want to read to us. He was ok with us reading to him and even though he's a great reader he just never wanted to read out loud. Turns out, he does love reading! But only to himself:) His big plan for the two days off of school last week were to go to the library and get lots of books. I thought he was getting a little ahead of himself when he got five chapter books but he knew better than I did because he finished them all in record time by taking one with him wherever we went.

Reading.

More reading.

Paige is in preschool this year but only for two days a week and I have to remind myself that if I make the effort to plan learning activities she gets really into them. She still loves reading together but will sometimes choose to do her Sesame Street workbook too. Last week I took her to preschool math night. We went to three different classrooms with different activities for twenty minutes at a time. Every time we entered a new room, Paige's eyes would go straight for the play kitchen in the corner or the dolls on the shelves. She was easy to steer back to the task at hand though and loved playing the different math games.

An oldie but a goodie, Paige saw this old picture of Owen and wanted to make one too! She dotted her way through the first few letters and then realized dragging the bingo marker was much quicker!
