Monday

This morning we played several games. I made new ABC cards with index cards and colored glue. We played the game this morning where they match the lower case letter with the upper case letter. Alex is doing great at this! Emma is doing better also. We played with 8-10 letter pairs at a time and Alex can match almost all of them! Not only can she match the upper case with the corresponding lower case, she recognized a new letter today. When I handed her a card she looked and said, "Q is for queen." Yeah!!! I was so excited for her. In addition to matching pairs we traced the letters with our fingers (the point of doing the letters in glue, so that they are raised). It is a great pre-writing technique.
Then we played picture dominoes. This is getting better also. I don't have to point out what picture they can play every time, they just know what to look for and are doing great at taking turns. Emma's favorite part is when she doesn't have the right picture and has to draw from the pile. She picks one up, looks and says, "Nope" and picks another.
This afternoon Alex has PT and Emma had OT.
