I don't know what happened to R. Frog has been pushing us through the letters quicker these days. He noticed his letter poster and sees what letter is coming next and wants to go right to it. We've been having fun with T this week. I put all the T things into a box on Sunday night and then we put them into the blue holder together. It saved a lot of time and easier to pull out everything myself without little hands wanting to get out more.
We are going to get all our train things out later this week when it is supposed to rain. It's been such a wonderful break in the weather we've been outside a LOT! It's been so good! Praise God, Spring is on its way! Hopefully we'll do this cute turtle craft too.
We've been doing Hooked on Phonics together every morning. We are still on the first stage--using the CD and learning the letter sounds together. It's nice that we can sit on the couch and Little Bird can join us if she wants.
Last week I did my first tray! Tot Trays as I think they're called. For Frog I put lots of paper, wacky scissors and shaped hole punchers and a little red box with dividers to put it all in. He loved it. For Little Bird I took old ornament boxes and filled them with match box cars and gave her a tub to put them all into. She liked it for a few minutes and then was onto something else. She is so busy! I try to give her--her own things that match her brothers and try to include her but she is so grabby. She's not content on her stool either--she climbs over into my lap and then onto the table. Usually I call in Daddy (who works most mornings at home) about half way through our learning time (which only lasts about 30min max).
Super Frog and I are still doing one verse every week from Songs for Saplings--Corresponding letter. We are doing some random pages in a workbook recently given to me by a friend called The Ultimate Skills Builder. We do the day of the week and our phonics. And we are also going through a book called I Wonder Why I Blink. It's a very well done book about the body--great for his level and nicely illustrated. We do one or two pages everyday--it is a short book. We'll be done tomorrow. I requested some from the library but they weren't what I was looking for...so I'm not sure what we will do next.
