We're back!!! Sorry for the long hiatus, but we needed it! However we are back on track now...

Today, we learned about the letter H. We learned the words and signs for H, Hot, Happy, Home, Hair, Hands, and Hat. We also went through all of the letters and signs A-H and reviewed since we had been off for a while. We will continue to review daily for the rest of the week along with our regular studies.

We had both Circle Time and our lesson a bit late today, but both went well. For Circle Time, we did all of our usual things (singing, rhymes, etc.) and we read "Rainbow Fish" by Marcus Phister and we read Book of Mormon Stories, namely the story of Lehi receiving his vision about the destruction of Jerusalem. For the lesson we learned about the the letter Gg and the sound "g" as in garden. We also learned the ASL signs for G, Garden, Gorilla, Goat, Grass, and Guitar. Alyna already knew the sign for green, so she really liked practicing that one as well.

We missed Circle Time today. This afternoon we learned about the letter Ff and the sound "f" as in fish. We learned the ASL signs for F, Fairy, Fire, Fish, Forest, Farm, and Flag. We also reviewed all of the vocabulary and signs we have learned so far.

Today was a challenging day for school. Lyna was tired and grumpy so Circle Time was interesting, but once we started doing our "dancing and singing" time to "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes" it got better (although she didn't want to stop doing that). This afternoon we learned about the letter Ee and the sound "e" as in elephant. We learned the ASL signs for E, elephant, egg, empty, emperor, elves, and engine. Lyna is down for a nap now, hopefully she will wake up a bit more cheery!

Today was a good day for school. Circle Time went well. We have decided to replace yoga with a "dancing and singing" time, to get all of the energy out! It worked much better for us. This afternoon we learned about the letter Dd and the sound "d" as in dog. We learned the ASL signs for D, duck, dog, dinosaur, dance, dolphin, and doll. Lyna continues to amaze with the speed that she picks up the signs, we are really having fun with those!

We had Randi Kay again for Circle Time, it was lots of fun and both the girls really enjoyed it. We read the fairytale "Little Louse and Little Flea". We learned about the letter C and the "c" as in cat sound. We learned ASL for the letter C, cat, caterpillar, cow, crystal, cow, and crocodile. Both of the girls really enjoyed the sign language!

Today, we did Circle Time with a guest, Randi Kay. Both of the girls had a lot of fun. We did yoga, some rhymes, and read "Goldilocks and the Three Bears". Later in the day we learned about the letter B and the sound "b". We learned the words and the signs for banana, balloon, butterfly, book, bones, and ballet. We read the Bob Book Mac, emphasizing the sound "b". Lyna has been really interested in the signing, she has been doing the signs from last week over and over and was very excited to get some new ones today to put into her vocabulary. Here are some pictures of her doing her signs (yes, we are doing signs in the bathroom, don't ask!). The signs are for ambulance (learned last week), book, and bones.

It's the first day of school!!!

We started the day with Circle Time which went okay. Alyna was a bit energetic and didn't want to calm down, but did fairly well. Later in the day we learned about the letter A and the sound it makes. We learned the words and the signs for apple, astronaut, ants, ambulance, airplane, and alligator. We read the Bob Book Mat, emphasizing the sound "a". Lyna really enjoyed learning the new words and has wanted to review them multiple times!
