Fun Kindergarten Day!

Yesterday our 5 year old son C had an especially fun day in kindergarten. First, we did his dictation/writing/reading on his aquadoodle mat instead of his little white board. For some reason this made it EXTRA fun! :-) He is coming along really well in his reading of cvc words (consonant/vowel/consonant) and he now knows the sight word "the" very well.
It was also his day for a bible lesson with his older sister. Last year I enlisted her help for teaching an age appropriate bible lesson to C once a week. This has been such good training for her (she prepares it all on her own) and has helped strengthen the brother-sister bond between them as well. Yesterday the lesson was on the Israelites exodus from Egypt. Big sister read the lesson to him and then did a "suitcase" craft. They glued pictures of clothing and other items to take on a long journey onto a construction paper suitcase. Then he proudly carried this "suitcase" with him as they journeyed around the house! Big sister uses the book pictured below to prepare his lessons, which I bought at our local Family Christian Store.
I'm so thankful for the good days when C has lots of fun in school!
