Most days the kids and I have "preschool time" where we sing songs, talk and write about a letter and number, read a bible story and do some activity starting with that letter... Last week we were talking about the letter D so one of the activities we did was going on a "dino fossil hunt"...
they found a "dino map"
then they had to follow the directions and jump around the tree...
practice their balance...
then find the X
then the "d-d-d digging" began...
they were pretty excited when they found the fossils :)
they are only 13.5 months apart, it can be challenging sometimes having them so close but they are really becoming Best friends!
We also memorize a verse from their ABC bible verse book. The verse for D was "Delight yourself in the Lord" It's so fun teaching my kids about Gods word. The verses are usually pretty short and verses that I have known most my life, but such a good reminder and I learn more from verses everyday! Learning the ABC's and how to read and write is important, but the only thing that really matters is that my children Delight themselves in the Lord, and that their desires are to bring Him honor and glory.
So cool, Laurie! I especially appreciated your last sentence. I am so glad that you are teaching Jude, Hailey, Seth, and Liam to value that which is supremely valuable and to delight in Him who is the source of all delights!
