Welcome Back!!!

This has been our first attempt at starting school back since the baby brother has been born.  I wasn't sure how things were going to go, but in a way having a baby brother has been a blessing in disguise.  Jordan is exerting himself more and trying to do things more on his own (especially when I have to feed the baby and he knows mom can't help).  This should really help when we officially start kindergarten in the fall, especially since I was hoping to institute more learning centers for independent time, so I'm very excited it's falling into place! :)

What we are learning...

Letter: Aa

Colors: Red, Yellow, Green

Shape: Rectangle

Have Fun and Be a Blessing!
