Week Two

This has been Mat's second full week in Ann Arbor. She's loving it so far, especially the school part. We're slowly learning the names of her classmates (as well as what their parents constitute as a healthy snack). No, gogurt and fruit cups are not something we stock in Mat's house.

This week we've been working on sight words. She's pretty confident on 'can' and 'a'. Along with sight words we've been trying to learn lower case letters. Ones like c and u are easy for her but q and e... Not so easy. I've just been drawing attention to specific letters, using flash cards, having her trace dry erase outlines, etc. the combination of sight words and lower case letters os a hefty course load. We do them in small time increments; often.

As for me, I've started a 2-week infant care class to help me figure out how to physically take care of a newborn. I also move into my apartment tomorrow. While I'm busy moving this weekend, Mat is going to a football game and a fall harvest festival. I'll try to snag some pics from J and B to put on the blog. Have a great weekend.
