Took about an hour and a half out of my day and drew the alphabet, both capital and small Roman, and Elder Futhark runes as well, for our wall for Nephew, since it doesn't look like kindergarten is going to get its issues settled out very soon. I also drew a color wheel. I think next I'm going to tackle numbers, in Arabic numerals, Roman, tally-marks, and spots to count. And words. So for 4, I'd have:

4
IV

....
four

I think I'm going to also put up letters and numbers in Morse Code and ASL Manual Alphabet as well. I need a refresher course, gods know. Perhaps Greek and Hebrew symbols as well? and a separate sheet with each alphabet by itself, labeled nicely? That would certainly make it stick in people's brains, to be sure.

I got Montessori school when I was Nephew's age, and all the advantages of an upper-middle-class upbringing with intelligent parents who wanted the best for their kid. Sis is doing a damn good job, but I've got some of the spare time, and I've got the knowledge of what worked with me to apply to Nephew. We want a kid with Sis's moxie, my academic knowledge, and the best of us combined.
