Hooked On Phonics

 Howdy, folks! It's been a while! I've honestly been so busy pet sitting, tutoring, studying to get my B.A., and working on one of my latest novels to think about my blog. (Actually, I'd forgotten all about it!) But then it hit me - I haven't posted in forever! So, I have a new topic today. I subscribes to Hooked on Phonics. Now I get an istruction book to help kids sound out letter blends (nd, nt) along with two short stories for the kids to read. I will be able to use parts of the instruction book for two of my beginning readers, but for now I think the stories are a little too advanced for them. They're still reading Bob Books. But I'm looking forward to having a new curriculum to work with! Here's a picture of the books I just got!


By the way, it's a little late to be saying this, but happy September! Any back-to school stories you want to share?

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.
