"A" Post

Today we are starting our first day of school. John's curriculum does a letter/sound a day! Pretty fast huh. I'm not sure how we will do but I think high expectations are important and most of the time our children will rise to the occasion. Anyway, I found these cute videos to help us with our letter sound association.

This video was a little babyish but he liked it.

I also wanted to read John the book Ten Apples Up On Top but our local library didn't have it so I looked on youtube and found a dad reading it for his children. Here is the link if you are interested. We are having a good day. I'll post pictures from our first day later.
