This Week is Christmas!
Exciting week for us here in our household! Christmas is fast approaching us. We are spending the week preparing and getting ready for family time. We enjoy our time on Christmas Eve making gingerbread houses, playing games and going to church. Christmas morning is time for the annual tradition of cinnamon rolls, putting the prime rib on the Weber and opening presents. The afternoon is at grandma and grandpa‘s house, spending time with family. I hope you are in good spirits this year and I wish you a blessed holiday season!
Signs of the Week of Dec 6th
Last week, I focused on using aslsearch.com feature of flash cards on a simple catergory for the kids to start on, colors. They did well and can keep practicing on certain ones such as pink and purple. The use of the letter “k” in those pink and purple signs is not easy for little ones’ fingers. We will be continuing those colors this week to master the signs.
This week I am looking to add a few signs especially with Christmas coming up. We have set up our Christmas tree today and also worked on the lights on the house. It is starting to look festive here!
