Doing “letters” on the green couch

A couple of years ago Jude was really into playing “letters” on the computer. Basically, “letters” is just an educational website called Starfall for kids to learn about the alphabet. Now, that Jude is in first grade he is learning about numbers and the alphabet in class and it has piqued his curiosity once again for this game. I think it is good for him because it teaches him some familiarity with computers and helps strengthen his knowledge of the alphabet. Computers are not encouraged at all in the Waldorf school until middle school so he gets no exposure to them whatsoever in school. This has been his sole experience with computer games are he seems quite satisfied with it.

Anna give snowshoeing a try in the backyard….but where is the snow?

I had Ridhwan school this weekend so I was not around much but Marcy took the kids to yoga on Saturday and then got out the snowshoes in the afternoon. A friend was borrowing some for a trip but Anna decided it would be fun to put them on and walk around the backyard.

Jude loves to climb on just about anything…

We have this really old back patio and awning that is going to come down when we do renovations next year. Well Jude and Anna discovered a fun way to climb on it this weekend.
