It is Wednesday which put a pep in these kids step. Everyone was wide awake this morning and ready for the day. We had breakfast on time! They rushed through breakfast after J announced he wanted to read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom again. There is always a favorite book of the week that we read every day which is great because by the end of the week I really don't have to read it because they memorize it and read in unison. After reading Older A got out the letter flash cards. She began putting them letter side down so the picture and word side up saying lets play a game. Little A sat down and we began playing a game. I would say the sound of a letter and they would have to find the picture that started with that sound. They amazed me because this work on letter sounds is really paying off. Little A picked it right up she is the youngest but wow I love that she understood! J of course was busy building Lego men but he was listening and as I said the sound of the letter he would say two or three words that started with the sound. He was learning to just in a different way which is what I have to remember. I always find myself trying to force him to do these activities which stresses both of us but he always answers question about our day when we do a little review.
Next we did a painting activity which I always like to add their name to in large writing. We blew into straws that we had dipped into paint. They actually loved this since they like to blow into the straws when in their water cups. I kept repeating dip, remove, and blow and gave a little example. We all know that your first instinct is to suck on the straw which did not happen. No paint in tummies today.
