After phonics we went over to the school table to do his handwriting. I am using HANDWRITING WITHOUT TEARS which he is doing quite well in. Again, we reviewed all the letters that he learned prior to Christmas break. First on the chalkboard with a wet sponge (he makes the letter with the wet sponge - just a fun and different way to practice), then I had him write all his letters on a white board. He did so well ... until he got to the F. For some reason he got stuck there and kept saying that it didn"t look right. I told him to write it a few more times and then pick out his best one. He told me that they all looked the same. I circled the best one for him and decided it was time to move on!

Phonics Lesson
Yesterday's phonics lesson was a riot! I am using, ALL ABOUT SPELLING with J and he sometimes throws a little bit of a fit when it is time to do it. We are currently reviewing all the 3 letter short vowel lessons we had done before Christmas. I have magnetic tile letters set up on the fridge and after teaching him the consonat teams th, sh & ch (he loves that one), I decided I needed to make it fun. So after my energetic boy would spell a word he would run over to me put his head between my legs and give me a super big "leg-hug", laugh with delight and run back over to "build" the next word. He built 10, short i words perfectly that way! I have got to be creative when it comes to schooling that one and what worked one day may not work the next!!
