The kids have been bitten by the alphabet bug, much in thanks to Ma-lak for coming home from school and teaching them everything he knows! Ya'shar recites every letter on every sign that we pass, and Ni'ke will spend hours copying letters/numbers from her little coloring books. Rea especially has been extremely excited about going to kindergarten this fall, and thinks it's taking waaay too long! So to practice getting ready for kindergarten, she has been "writing letters" to hone her skills...
Usually while I'm making dinner in the evening the kids sit at the kitchen table and "do their homework" - Ma-lak actually does have homework twice a week, but the others work on little projects and exercises that I give them. Rea kept getting up and leaving the table, and I later found out why. She had posted signs on almost every door in the house, instructing people on where to put their shoes, where the bathroom was, where they can sleep for the night... So thoughtful of her, right?! While her "letters" were full of LETTERS, they didn't make much sense as far as words go! But a good starting point for reading and writing, for sure! Keep it up, Rea Sunshine!
