Last week Liam explored the letter K. :) Here is a brief overview of his Pre-School activities:

* began learning Catechism Q. #9: What is God? A.: God is a Spirit and does not have a body like men.

* began learning Psalm 56:3 & 4 "When I am afraid I will trust in You. In God, whose Word I praise, in God I trust."

* reviewed la casa & la cucina in Italian.

* reviewed the first 3 Ten Commandments learned previously.

* learned a new Christmas song: Christmas is Coming

* helped Mummy make an advent paper chain (I forgot to take a picture) and so we have replaced our usual reading our way through the book of Genesis to read the daily advent passaged instead. :)

* generated a K word list throughout the week and practiced writing the letter K.

* acquired many new favorite books, including the Blue Kangaroo series by Emma Chichester Clark and the Kipper books by Mick Inkpen.

Since Liam's third birthday was this past Sunday, we had seven little friends over for a Dinosaur party on Saturday afternoon. We wanted to be sure he had a party with friends since this is the first year he REALLY was aware of having a birthday and was excited to celebrate it, coupled with the fact that we have moved so far from family with whom he was used to celebrating. He really had a wonderful time playing "Dinosaur Walk" and "Pin the Horn on the Dinosaur!" With making all the arrangments for the party last week, we did not get around to cooking or baking anything together for K week, but with Christmas baking just around the corner, I'm sure we'll quickly make up for it! :)

We are exploring L this week, so I should have the low down sometime the end of this week!
