We continue to do our flashcards and work on recognizing the letters by sight that she doesn't know yet. We are also working on spelling her name. We like to spell her name to the tune of Bingo, and so now the next step is learning to write it. We like this site for customizable worksheets.
Besides learning the alphabet, P has been attending swim lessons. I find swimming lessons (and just any lessons) so valuable. P is especially good at learning from other people besides me. I can go over a concept a million times with her not understanding, and then a teacher will tell her the same thing and she gets it.
We also held a yard sale where P sold her bike. She chose to do this on her own, and so we let her. She got two dollars from her bike, and was able to pay tithing on what she earned. She is still too young to understand the monetary units and value, but can recognize names and was so happy and proud to take 1/10th of her money to be used for our church. We have been letting Penny earn money for things she wants for a year now, and I find that she is really conscious about how we use it and how to save and give.
P has really been loving games and rhymes lately. So we have been playing Memory and learning to memorize some nursery rhymes. I love how much she is learning!
