Learning

So much of the learning that happens in our home, takes place in our daily lives. Life provides many opportunities to learn how the world works, why things happen, how to take care of our bodies, etc.

And, there is some learning that simply takes practice and is more about sitting down and practicing. We have been working with letters and numbers each morning after breakfast. We play games with recognizing the symbol and then Nora Lee practices writing them. We have also started simple math. Recently we introduced the symbol for addition and have done a little adding together. I've been surprised how Nora Lee already understands things like if I say, "You can have one more piece of candy." She will say, "Then there will only be three pieces left."
