Today we worked on some pre-writing activities in a workbook. Emma did a really nice job drawing lines. Of course she wrote lots of letter "E" and also numbers 1 & 2. She let me hand-over-hand to work on the number three. We have a desk in her room so that we can close the door and try to keep the distractions...mostly her little brother...to a minimum. I also put a plain piece of white card stock over the page that we are not doing and then over the page that we are done with to keep that from distracting her also. When we were finished I asked Emma to write her name on the top of the page and then told her "E-M-M-A". As she wrote them she said the letters. I was very proud of her. The only help that I gave her was to have her make the line through the middle of her "A". We need to work on making those mountains for the "M", but not to bad!!
Big day tomorrow ~ Emma is going to play in her first T-Ball game.
She is going to play on her Uncle Ron's team in Floyd at 6:00
More writing practice...of course the number "2" is still her favorite, but we are working hard on number "3". I must say that the number two's that she is making are really really good...we just need to figure out a way to get her to move on to the next number! We found a Discovery Toys Starting To Write set at a garage sale that is awesome! It came with lots of wipe off cards and colors, but Emma would rather use the dry erase markers. I am going to try to photo copy the wipe off cards and see if we can get her to work on them as worksheets. I will keep you posted as to how that goes...
