Our book of the week this week is The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. We are doing two review words - she and not. Esme is progressing very nicely. She knows eight sight words and spots them in almost every book we read. She knows all her letters and their sounds and is in the early stages of learning to sound out words. We are working on her fine motor control so that writing will be easier for her. We are in our fourth week of our bug unit, and we're concentrating on butterflies. We're hoping to visit the butterfly conservatory near here at the end of the week. Since we've been using so many Eric Carle books, we're also hoping to visit the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art at the end of this unit.
Esme learned the story of creation in Sunday School this week. Her teacher was impressed how fast she picked it up. The class has 7 pictures representing each day of creation, and Esme learned their order almost immediately. She will get her first medal for learning this story.
We are also hoping that our Daisy Troop will start up soon! Esme is really looking forward to being a Girl Scout and I am really looking forward to being her leader!
