Christmas Trees and Candy Bags

 It's the time of year for giving, which I love doing! I like to think of the special people in my life, and that includes the kids that I tutor! I found some bags of freeze-dried candy, like Skittles, and chose the sour ones for the boys and tropical fruit ones for the girls (I don't have a picture of Adalyn because her last tutoring session was cancelled). I'll try and get her gift to her soon. But I love the reactions the kids had when they saw what they got - they were all so happy! (Kids and candy!) 

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year! My next post will probably be next year! Have a great one!

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!
