L and N

The week after Thanksgiving, the girls and I got back into our school routine, and Johanna learned about the letters L and N.

On Monday, I read Johanna the fairy tale, Little Red Riding Hood.

After I finished reading the story, Johanna wrote out the letter L with her block crayons, and we drew pictures of lilies.  (Yeah, yeah, I know I spelled lily wrong in the chalkboard drawing above. Luckily, Johanna didn't know that ;) We chose to draw pictures of lilies because, Little Red Riding Hood collected lilies for her Grandmother in the forest, of course.

On Tuesday, Johanna re-told me the story of Little Red Riding Hood, and I wrote a summary into her lesson book.

On Wednesday, I introduced the letter N to Johanna by telling her the fairy tale, The Nail.

Once I was done with the story, Johanna wrote out the letter N, and then both of us drew a picture of nails.

We look forward to taking it easy during the month of December, and enjoying the holiday while celebrating the special days of the month, such as Saint Nicholas Day, Saint Lucia Day, and Christmas (Yay!).
