The Post Office

Luke's class walked 5 blocks to the post office at Cap Square. They had been learning about the mail and had "written" letters to us and were going to mail them. The concept was apparently difficult to grasp as many of the kids broke down as their letters were about to go into the mailbox. Also, Luke was very upset because his letter was intended for Daddy and he had to have a Disney Princess stamp. He kept talking about wanting a BOY stamp!! A full blown temper tantrum ensued, with Luke sitting down in the revolving door. He wasn't the only one though, from what Grandma reported.

Luke's teachers report that he still loves building blocks with his friend Sam. When asked to come do an assessment, he balked, until the teacher told him he could use blocks for it. Then he was kind of like, "Okay, lets get this over with" and quickly demonstrated the skills (patterning and counting) so he could get back to his blocks.

Today I sat down to play the Letter Factory game with him and was super pleased and a little shocked to find he knew the sounds to at least 3/4 or more of the letters. He is getting to where he can write L, upside down u, and some lines that will become the k and e in his name!
