Learning ABC in the Tub!!

Because learning is the must fun when you don't know you are learning. We use the foam bath letters in the tub to help Girlygirl learn her letter and there sounds. I will also write the letter with tub carayons on the tub. Girlygirl will now act like she is writing letters and she the names to letters. It works great with kids who can't sit still. You may not see if for a long time but one day it will hit and all the work will pay off.

Letter A

Today we worked on the letter A to add to our notebooks. We made four things. The first was this Angie the letter a person Five's is above on the left at the bottom. I just printed to pattern and let the girls color them while I got ready the stuff to paint with apples. To get ready I put paint on paper plates and cut an apple in half. (I cut it in the mild not from top to bottom then I could show Five and Girlygirl the star in an apple) They then painting with the apples. Five made two and Girlygirl did on with my help.  Five also glued apple seeds to a cut out of the letter A and did a letter a work sheet. I was planning to do it all week but both girls wanted to do more. We will see how the next letters go.

Reading

I was trying to clean up before my mom/boss (the mom of the girl I take care of) got home. Girlygirl was having a hard time and  I need to be help. I asked Big Sis to read to her. Girlygirl stay there for the whole book. What did this teach me. Just ask for help. When asking kids to help don't just say help me but tell them how they can help you. Big Sis loved it because she was watching Girlygirl. Remember this next time you need help.
