Summer School Accomplishments

I wanted to write about what Elli learned from summer school before I forgot.
Learned: All letters, most sounds, match upper and lower case, trace letters and lines, opposites, clap out syllables, three new Bible verses, patterns, recognize numbers 1-10, crab walk, skip, jump forward, throw a ball above her head and catch it, cutting, rhyming ending sounds, writing letters, and I am sure there are more things, but I cannot think of them now.
Improved:coloring, gluing, counting (to 20), writing her name, riding her tricycle, sorting, puzzles, color recognition, shape recognition of objects around us, finding letters in books and other reading materials, telling stories from a picture, and again, I am sure there are more things, but I'll have to just stop here.
We had a great time. There are so many things to teach Elli and so many things for her to learn. I am sure this list is no where near complete, but I wanted to remember as much as possible from the specific things we worked on over the summer. How fun to see her learn and use those new things in her life. Makes me smile:)

I am so glad that homeschooling this summer was a successful and rewarding venture for you and Elli.
