Popcorn and Homeschooling

I never cease to be impressed by Grace's little mind and ability to learn.  For example, yesterday she was asking Matt how to spell popcorn and today at lunch she kept saying, "p-o-p, pop."  Then she asked me how to spell corn and proceeded to spell the word popcorn.

Now that was mildly impressive but what she did next was shocking to me.  She told me she wanted to go upstairs and write the word popcorn on her magnadoodle.  So I said sure have fun.  I kind of forgot why she went upstairs and later I found this....

Grace's writing

Apparently Grace knows how to write several letters.  Which leads me to my next point.

Several people have been asking if we are sending Grace to preschool this year now that she is 3 and the answer is no.  At this point I am very excited about the chance to homeschool our children.  I am not sure exactly how long I will do it or how it will look but it seems right for us.  So, I keep saying I'm going to do some preschool homeschooling to make sure I don't hate it.  And I'm going to start figuring our what homeschooling might look like for our family.

This year I was planning on working on writing letters, reading and math with Grace maybe once or twice a week.  Nothing super intense.  We've worked on writing the letter A and B once or twice in the last several months.  Now I'm wondering how much we need to work on letters:)

I've been feeling a little bit unprepared to begin this endeavor but I keep reminding myself that Grace is only 3 and I have 2 years to figure out what we're going to do for kindergarten. Who knows maybe things will continue as they are right now and Grace will just teach herself all she needs to know.
