Our Big Boy - Pre-K

Today was Zachary's official 1st day of pre-k......YAY!

We worked for a good hour before we were done and he did great.  We started off with our Bible devotion from a new devotional that we gave to Zachary last night.  It is Sarah Young's Jesus Calling for Kids - it covers both the old and new testament stories and it's pretty cool; especially the pictures.  Zachary enjoyed the devotional!

Off we went for his schoolwork; which included tracing, writing, sorting m&m's and counting them (and of course eating a few along the way too!), an about me page that I wrote up (picture will be at the bottom), working on the letter of the week - A and then a craft, cutting, coloring, working on temperature, time, etc.  It all flowed so smoothly and tomorrow, will be Les' day since he's off and I'll be at work.  Then I'll do Wed, and my mom will be Thurs while I'm at work again.  We're going to leave Friday's for "free" days to do whatever we want: field trip, playgroup, etc.  So, it'll be fun!!!

We'll be doing our reading of books probably around bedtime or maybe in the afternoon after naps; this will be a negotiable thing as to what time it's done in.  They kids LOVE to be read to, so it won't be hard to incooperate it into our life b/c it's already there!!  :)

I'll try to keep my blog updated on Zachary's progress!  Next we're going to learn the letter Z.  He can already recognize it, but we'll work on it and different words that start with "Z".  One never knows, we might end up at the zoo next week.....HA!  Probably not, unless there is a HUGE change in our weather......SOON!  I figure that we'll cover the letter from the previous week quickly on Monday to make sure that he can still recognize it.  He can point out quite a few letters, but I know he doesn't know all of them yet.  This will be our goal this semester; then probably start trying to learn to read in the Spring semester.  I don't want to do that until I know he knows all of them.

Anyways, I'm off for now, going to take a nap.  Miss Sadie girl woke me up again at 1:55 AM to go potty and try to sleep with us.  HA!  So, I'm tired and this has happened 2 nights in a row now.  Not used to be woken up at night anymore.  LOL
