Rectangles....

Tonight's "homework" and tot school time focused on the letter R and rectangles. Rebecca loves matching mats and file folder games. Here she is doing her "homework". We also colored the lowercase letter r and practiced finding different color crayons. You can find the file for the matching mat here.

I've been trying for the last 15 minutes to upload a closer picture of it, but blogger and I are not friends this morning. It's really cute =) and used artwork by Trina Clark from www.digiscrapkits.com (Seriously, anything made with her artwork is adorable!).

I'm off to get dinner going in the crock pot - pulled bbq pork one of my DD's favorite dinners and prep for tonight's tot school/homework time!

First night of homework.....

Last night was Victoria's first night of homework. I decided to make Rebecca a part of the homework experience and start an introduction to the sounds of letters. Mind you Rebecca is only 2, but it's never to early to start.

I printed a capital R in a coloring font, set her in her booster with some crayons and we all did our homework. I introduced the letter to her, made its sound and let her color. When she finished, I asked her what letter it was and wasn't too surprised that she remembered. What shocked me was when I asked her what R was for - she Rebecca. I had only said this once while giving her the sound.

This morning she excitedly grabbed her paper and ran out to show Grandma her homework, yelling, "look, Grandma R for Rebecca." This child amazes me!

Tonight's "homework" is lowercase r coloring and a rectangle matching mat, I'm off to put together. I'll upload the file for the game later today.
