Sing: Standard Alphabet Song - He was very careful on the parts he struggled with yesterday.  Listening very closely to what I was saying.

Activity:  We cut out the alphabet letters that we colored yesterday and pasted them on his Alphabet Poster.  I asked him what each letter was as he handled them.  Our poster will be used the rest of the school year.

We love Signing Time at our house and I feel it is really a great fit in our little homeschool.  The first four volumes are well worn parts of our household and the other DVD's are on the short list for Christmas presents.

Still took closer to an hour and a half.  Maybe that's just a good amount of time for us.

Cost:  $1.00 for the video rental.  All the supplies for the poster were things we had on hand.
