It feels as though we&#8217;ve sat on the couch and read/sung quite frequently, but I think it&#8217;s mostly just been the TV cabinet stuff, as I think we only read one of the Aesop&#8217;s fables (whenever he brings the box of books over the fables book is almost always his [...]]]></description>

Thanks to Australia Day, this was a short week. We really only got to Mat Time once (so we&#8217;ve only read one fable!), but we did go through the things on the TV cabinet quite frequently.

It&#8217;s been a pretty good week. I don&#8217;t know that Puggle has made much progress on the folksong (it&#8217;s another mournful one:-) ), but I certainly have:-)
I put that down to the recent innovation of blu-tacking the words to the front of the TV cabinet. (Funny how ideas stick with you:-) Sometime [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I was at school, I learnt a handful of letters from the Greek alphabet, but I didn&#8217;t ever learn the whole thing. A week or so ago at KinderClassics the teacher mentioned that there was &#8217;some maths programme that has a video teaching the Greek alphabet in story form&#8217;. Apparently it was the programme [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[(In spite of what I said last week!)
This morning at KinderClassics, we were talking about resources, and because I seemed to have come across a number of the Latin courses, the teacher asked if I knew of any Ancient Greek resources for little ones. I told him there were and promised to email him the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[(Because Purrdence asked why Latin rather than another LOTE! This was my reply—with some expansion!)
*grin*
A whole other post (and here&#8217;s a little one:-) )!
There are many reasons. It&#8217;s something I&#8217;ve always wanted to do, which is I guess what started me thinking about it.
I see Latin as a great beginner for other Romance languages, from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Puggle is really paying attention to what he is saying, and regularly asks what starts with a given sound, or what sound is at the start of a word.
We&#8217;re also spending some time paying attention to how we form sounds. Since I&#8217;ve been printing the alphabet letters for him to draw on, he&#8217;s started asking [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lissa has written a couple of posts on one of her daughter&#8217;s issues and progress with holding a pencil. So far Puggle seems to be managing, but I know there was some comment from _someone_ about pencil holding difficulties so I thought this would be worth noting (and we may yet need it ourselves&#8230;)
