Another Joseph:
We started our week with another great missionary story from Japan.
Parker located Japan on our world map placemat.

Parker continued his letter of the week activities. This week we reviewed the “letter D”. I added some “letter D” songs to our Core A playlist.

We also added a “D is for Darth Vader” page to his ABC notebook…he LOVED this entry!

We played quite a few times…Parkie won and Mommy lost ☹️
