Learning our ABC's...






Israel has been asking for me to teach him some letters ( because he sees us doing homework and reading with Keira) and at this point we don't think preschool is in the budget for the fall so I dug deep and put together a few things for him too do. He seems to like it and has learned A,B,C, so far. We do a few games, a few worksheets and 2 letter games on the Ipad. I don't know how you home schoolers do it. The homeschooling world seems so overwhelming that I just want to totally tune it out. The resources and methods are overwhelming and there are just so many blogs about it. It stresses me out to be in charge of what they ( my kids) know and don't know and to try and find the time to do anything with the baby and toddler..... AHHH!! Maybe I am lazy but I do NOT want to home school. I am eternally grateful for Keira's Catholic School and so glad that I do not really have to home school. Israel's birthday is 10 days past the cut off so he actually won't be eligible for Kindergarten for two more years so there is TONS of time to learn the basics.
Don't judge me on the disaster zone of a desk that he is working on. Its Keira's art zone and no matter how many times I organize it and make it tidy she destroys my handwork in 5 seconds of beginning an art project, and she starts projects about 20 x a day so yeah...

LOL, Don't feel too bad. TV taught my 2 eldest their letters. Super Why, yep, the ultimate lazy way to teach your children their letters. (It and Word World are also teaching my eldest(4) to spell and read. (He brought me blocks today and was spelling, bug, hug, jug, rug, red, etc.
