A, B, C, D, E

 Hello again! I have been recently teaching how to identify the letters of the alphabet to a three-year-old. But all 26 of them seemed like it might be too much all at once. So, I'm starting with the first five letters, and when he learns those, I'll add a few more. I'll do that each time he learns those letters until he recognizes all the letters of the alphabet! He already knows "E" because that is what his name starts with. I was only going to start with A, B, C, D, but since he already knows "E", I decided to include that letter as well. So in addition to the first five letters of the alphabet, I'm also teaching him how to spell his name. I have pre-K writing paper, so I write out his name in dashed lines a few times on a page and have him write over the letters. He's already getting better at following the lines and I've only done it three times with him! He'll be a quick learner of the alphabet, I'm sure.

Busy days!

 Hello everyone! I know it's been a long time since I've posted, but I want to start again! I have, in addition to tutoring, taken on a job as a pet sitter! On Monday this week I got done with pet sitting for a week and a half, two separate clients, two different cats. I had to come home and make sure I had prepared the three different tutoring lessons I had to teach that day - an 8-year-old, a 6-year-old, and a 3-year-old. Quite different lessons! But I was ready, and the lessons were successful. I'll go into detail about how I plan my lessons on another post. I hope you enjoy your day!

 Hello again! I just wanted to let you all know that I've recently gotten two more kids that I'm tutoring, one twice a week, once in reading and writing and once in math. The other new boy is three years old and I'm teaching him how to identify the letters of the alphabet and write his name. I now have four kids. One of the boys was at the skate park on his scooter and fell on his face, chipping his front teeth! He still told his mom that he wants to go to the skate park lol. Here he is holding the book he's reading.

 Well, I was surprised this week when I was given this little plastic Pokemon character. You see, it was mine. I have a bag of them that I use for playing learning board games like "Say and Spell" or Bingo. Apparently this one had been left behind, unnoticed by me. So when I came to tutor the boy again, his mom showed it to me and told me how serious her son was about making sure I got it back. He called it "Miss Tia's figure." It just really touched my heart that he would care so much about such a little thing.
