Numbers

Preschool this week has been very low key. We're just working on numbers and counting so we have spent time in our favorite workbooks doing number activities. Dot to dots (connect the dots) are new favorites.

Next couple weeks may or may not happen as we are traveling. Check back in July!

What do you do in the Summer time?

Kids Love Spanish


Activity:
Color game...I name the color of an object in English or Spanish, James repeats in other language. He then names a color and I repeat in other language.


We have decided to learn Spanish as a family so we started with these kid books and videos. We have some dvds to listen to on our next long car trip. Hopefully we can pick something up!
