"I Can See a Bee"

 First of all, I'd like to say Happy July! I hope you get a chance to enjoy the 4th. 


Now, on with the story. I am now tutoring two six-year-old girls. One I've been tutoring for at least 6 months, and the other one I just started today. I'm doing the same program for the new girl that I did for my other student. We always start with identifying the letters of the alphabet and what sounds they make. Then we read the Bob Book "What can I see?"

When I read this with the first girl, she caught on to "see" and "bee" right away. The word "see" is repeated many times in this little book. The word that took her FOREVER to learn by heart was "can."

This new girl I'm working with caught on the the word "can" even faster than she did "see" and "bee!" What a change! I think this new girl is going to catch on to things quickly. Both girls are great learners, and very well-behaved even having to do reading and writing for an hour.

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.

Thoughtfulness

 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.
