L.A. ~week 2

Now that all the letters have been 
introduced we worked on sentences.

We would write out a sentence on one page
with an accompanying illustration on the other.

Then, we practiced writing out our alliterative 
verses.  I worked on sight recognition of some words
( The, of, and...)


One day was devoted to seeing Santa
we went with my dad to the mall of America
we saw Santa, went to Lego land, and underwater world.
We had lunch at the Rain forest cafe and Tillie was terrified of
all the mechanical animals!






We celebrated two Saints this week as well.

December 6th is St Nicholas day.
I read lots of stories of Nicholas and the children 
woke to find coins in their boots!

We also celebrated Santa lucia.
Along with my Mother we brought the children
to a concert put on by the Swedish institute.
It was really nice and a gentle introduction to 
Swedish tradition.  


Matthew worked on his recorder more 
this week and he learned his first song!






Next week is a nature week.
We need this to organize before 
Christmas!  

until next week
