Reading and Writing

Madison will be four in just a few weeks! It is hard to believe my baby will be starting preschool in the fall. This year we have been doing our own homeschool preschool and have been apart of a great co-op group that meets once a week. One of the highlights of my days is Maddie’s reading/writing lesson in the afternoons. Madison is doing so well sounding out  words  and writing them. I’ve loved being her teacher.
