As a mom (and former elementary school teacher) I am so excited to see the girls learning! I've waited for years to see these cute stories that Cerys is writing on her own! She was working hard the other night at the kitchen table and brought me the finished product:
"The Rainbow was in the sky"
"The pattern was on the paper"
The funny thing about the word "pattern" is that she learned it in a British accent- it's really the one word that she says consistently in her British accent. She says "patton". I love it."The bee stung the big brown bear by Cerys Verlander"
She did pretty good with her last name I think.Bailey is learning all her letter sounds. Instead of teaching the name of letter they teach they sound first. So according to her, her name does not start with a B, but with a "buh". :) Here she is super excited she can make a "kuh" (K).
(I wrote Kipper at the top for her)

How fun!!! I love it when they start learning sounds and writing. Ben (5) can read some short words and is almost to the stage where reading clicks. By that I mean the point where they start reading words everywhere they look and without so much effort. Ellie (4) has a pretty good grasp on the sounds letters make and is "writing" stories all the time. She'll "write" a few lines and the bring it to me to read out loud. We play a lot of impromptu word games - we rhyme words or start listing words that all start with the same sounds. It's so much fun!!
That's awesome!!! Hannah says "grass" with an Irish accent...it comes out "graahhhsss".
We LOVE Kipper!!! We'd also love for our son to speak in a British accent, though clearly that won't happen.
I just love it!
Teaching Kindergarten and 1st Grade was always a joy. Those are the "sponge" years of life and it is so exciting to see everything begin to click in their little minds. I am so proud of both of them!
Sweet times : ) I love the accent, especially in the little children. Are you mummy or mommy?
