Just Another Day

5/19/09 – Tuesday. Margaret kept the kids today. They played upstairs this morning and then outside some. This afternoon, they played outside while I swept and mopped the kitchen and swept the foyer. Before supper I put some addition problems on the board for Deann mostly to see if she remembers how to add. She got all but one right. We put one of the single chalk boards on the front of the door and I wrote Come in. Deann read it so she knows the word come. Then we wrote a couple more things and then she wrote Come in now OK and drew a sun. In the bath tub went over the letters B, P and K with the boys. Also identified the colors of the letters. After their bath, I worked with the boys on the computer with the Starfall program. They could identify the following letters with no problems:

Scott – X, O, S, C, P, H, B, M, T, K
Kevin – X, S, M, H, B, O, P – sometimes he can get K

Scott’s favorite letters are those in his name especially the S. Kevin’s favorite letter for some reason is the M which he tends to call lots of letters.

We worked for a while on the Starfall program doing several of the books and activities. They have really neat activities. The boys got to make a gingerbread man, snowman and pumpkin picking out the eyes, nose, mouth, buttons and even the colors. Deann did one of the activities. She has done most of these on her own but needs help in order to do them correctly.
