Week 22

It's week twenty two. Our focus is on the letter P and number 16. I also would like to really focus on names. A lot of the students can write their name. If that is the case with your encourage them to start writing their last name as well. If your child isn't to this level yet help them by telling them what letters are in their name. Let the child memorizes this. Then have them write each letter, you might have to show them how to write certain letters they may struggle with. Have them practice this when it is convenient for you. By the time your child leaves my room we want them to be writing their first and last name.

Also... I know life is busy and unfortunately it's always going to be that way... because life just isn't fair :) However I want to encourage you to savor the little things. Really spend time with your children at home. I'm not a mom yet but I do handle 16 four years everyday for 7 hours sometimes 10. It's not always easy. In fact, at times, it is really {REALLY} hard. But next time you are at home maybe in the kitchen ask your child to help you. Maybe count some items for you or spell out the ingredients in the recipe you are making. Or when you are out and about shopping ask your child questions, talk to them, wonder with them about why things are spelled certain ways, or why we stop at stop signs & red lights.... how come the lights are red, green, and yellow? I don't know. Do you? Let's research it.... Things like this are so beneficial to a child's development.
