Sports!

 The kids I tutor are also into sports! Soccer, Football, and Gymnastics! I've never been one to play sports, but I do enjoy watching them. I've been to a few of Jasmine's soccer games, which were last summer. She was 14 then. I was tutoring her in spelling. But I have since moved on from her family. Now, Kingstyn plays football, and he is only 8 years old. He plays defense. He's pretty good at it. I was able to go to one of his games, as it was the only local one. The rest of the games were played in other cities. But I enjoy supporting my students and cheering them on by being there for their sports games!  I've never been to see any of Emily's gymnastics training, but I don't think she's at the stage where they're in competitions yet. I see her doing a lot of "bridges" and cartwheels, though. 😊

Kingstyn is #59! Go Kingstyn!

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!

Chipped teeth

 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.

Upside down and backwards

 Hello everyone! I've started a new blog! I'm no longer a nanny, but a reading tutor!  First off, I have to say I love my job, even though I'm only self employed.  But I do enjoy it, helping the kids learn and gain confidence, and have fun too!  I'm learning right along with them. Like how to read kids' writing upside down, especially when they are writing an S or a p or a b or a q. I need to make sure they're not writing their letters backwards, which is hard to do when you're facing them and everything is upsidedown!  If anyone has any creative ways to teach sight words or phonics, to make it fun, please feel free to share!  Have a great day!
