How do you spell ...

When we made the decision to put Anastasia into DC Public Schools' preschool program, I had reletively limited expectations. I expected that she would be well cared for in an environment that encouraged her natural curiousity. I expected that she would learn a few more stories and maybe a new nursery rhyme or two. What I did not expect was that by Christmas vacation, she would know all the letters of the alphabet, both capital and lowercase, and the sounds every letter makes. She's even begun sounding out words.

For a while now, Annie has been very interested in "doing her letters" on the computer. She likes to type her name and a few other simple words. She's really proud of knowing all nine letters of her name. We've even started working on a few other words.



She's even gotten pretty good at spelling other words, too. In her repertoire now: Daddy, Mommy, Momma, Dog, Cat. We're still working on Hitzig.
