Wearing Green!

 Happy St. Patrick's Day! 

I love getting into the holidays, no matter what the occasion! Apparently, the kids I tutor do too. You simply have to wear green on St. Paddy's Day! Although in Ireland, you wear green if you're Catholic and you wear orange if you're Protestant, which I am. But I still like to "fit in" and wear green on St. Patrick's Day! Here are some fun photos of me with the kids I tutor, all of us wearing green!

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.

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!

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!
