We've had a busy week at school. I didn't realize how important K-4 would be for my children. Just when you think all they need to know is how to play with others, go to the bathroom on their own, and mind their teacher, you realize there is a whole world of other things they "have" to know before kindergarten. Like recognizing every LETTER!!! WHAT!! They know their ABCs and can recognize some of the letters, but not nearly all of them. And we haven't done a whole lot of work outside of the things that they ask us to do in school. It's just hard to make them work when they get home in the afternoons. They have mastered writing their name, counting pretty far, counting in Spanish, minding their teacher, but the letter stuff is just slowing us down. So we are on a mission, playing letter games, watching videos, etc... trying to get these letters mastered.
So, if you have any more suggestions about learning them let us know!!!

That can be tricky. Do you have an alphabet puzzle or two? When Sissy was in preschool we had one of those Melissa & Doug puzzles that has a picture of something that starts with the letter...C with a carrot on it. I would mix up the pieces and pull one out for her to figure out before putting it on the board. Helped her a lot. We read lots of Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and Dr. Seuss ABC too. Good luck!!
It's times like these that make you wish you could move to Sesame Street for awhile. HB
