Learning with Filip
My four munchkins and I enjoyed a 2-week break as Australian schools had their Winter holidays before starting Term 3. My greatest joy was not having to do the usual school run in the morning and afternoon. I know. It’s lame. But you don’t understand… you see, we moved house recently and now, I’m on […]
Last week we did our Preschool Letter J! We used our Beginning Sounds scoops to start us off. I turned the scoops and cone upside down and Filip turned over each of the three scoops, identified the beginning sound and then checked his guess by turning over the cone. Yep, he was right: they all
We started our Preschool Letter I with our beginning I vocabulary cards. I covered the words with playdough at the top as I had done last week, and Filip said the name of each picture, focusing on the beginning sound. He continues to love this game and gets so excited when he can figure out
I decided to try something new for our Preschool Letter H. Instead of a beginning sounds basket, I used some of our beginning H vocabulary cards and covered the words at the top with play dough. Filip’s job was to say the name of each picture and figure out the beginning sound. He then took

And here we are: Preschool Letter F; almost one quarter of the way into the alphabet and we are loving every bit of it! We skipped our beginning sounds basket again and started with our Alphabet Play Dough Mat. I’m loving the fact that Filip has already grasped the concept that letter formation starts from the
We started out Preschool Letter of the Week E with an alphabet pinwheel. I would have liked to start with our beginning sounds basket, but all I could find in our house were eggs and envelopes…. and I wasn’t sure whether filling a frail basket with some eggs for a preschooler to handle would have
Preschool Letter D was a tricky one for us! We started out just great, but on day 2, Filip noticed it; yep, he realised that little letter b and little letter d “look the same”, as he put it. But, before I get on to talking about that, let’s start with Day 1 and what
