This morning we continued working on the letter A. I thought I would share with you our alphabet basket.
The little box on the right holds our sandpaper letters. Here is another picture of what is in our basket:
Our main story 'Along the Alphabet Path' comes from this website. This lady is an amazing woman! She is a homeschooling mom of soon to be 9! The books that we are using along with the story, are also recommendations of hers to go along with the story (other than the catechism book, we use that to work on our prayers). So, here is how our morning went with our alphabet basket. First we sat together and started by making the sign of the cross (something we have been working on for a while) then prayed our morning offering prayer. We read about Mrs. Applebee, Michael and St. Anne. After our story we worked with the sandpaper letter "A". Brother S then wanted to look through the Catholic Saints alphabet book - he pointed out Mary, Jesus and Joseph. We then started to read about St. Ambrosia and their attention span ran out. Short? Yes! Productive? Absolutely!! Probably their favorite books in this collection are the ABC Museum book and the Alphabet of Catholic Saints book. They frequently grab these on their own and look through the pictures :)
Well, things just got "too quiet for comfort" so I'm off to see what the boys are up to! Hope you have a GREAT day :)
