Studying the Alphabet Corner

Who says the preschool years have to be reserved to ABC's and 123's? How about throwing a little alpha, beta, and gama in there too?

This is our little corner of the room (on my bed) with a growing number of world alphabets. Currently: Sign Language, Russian, Greek, Hebrew, and Braille.

Hunter is quite interested.

"There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard."

Psalm 19:3

Hunter is 3 years, 6 months old

Your Answer Defines You
"What can we do with thirty seconds? What can we not do with thirty seconds!... [Suppose] your little child looks out the window and sees a collie. 'What's that?' he asks you. You have five options, which will each take about thirty seconds to make stick:

1. We can tell him, "Look, baby, Mommy has to get dinner."
2. We can tell him, "That's a bow-wow."
3. We can tell him, "That's a dog."
4. We can tell him, "That's a dog called a collie."

The fifth option is to tell him that it is a dog called a collie and then go on to tell him thirty second's worth of information about that animal...

How sad it is that we put information into a computer with great skill and great precision and put information into our children's brains in a hit-or-miss, slip-shod, and often untruthful way."
