Letter K

Today we learned about the letter K. We colored our K in the alphabet coloring book and sang a song about Kangaroos (tune to "If you're happy and you know it"). We then traces big K and little k. Emma does a really good job at tracing letters. That seems to be her favorite part. It is fun to see her color and instead of coloring, she is writing her letters. Some letters are hard for her to remember, like 'D', 'G', and 'J'. We will keep practicing though. We then used beans (instead of popcorn Kernals cause Emma didn't like the color of them. Lol) and filled up the letter 'K'/'k'. That was a lot of fun to see her using glue and smaller objects. She has really good fine motor skills.

I told her a story about a Koala Bear and what they eat. She colored a koala bear and we put him together on a toilet paper roll.
We then ended by singing "Lets go fly a kite" and colored and made a kite. It's too cold to go outside with it, so she has been running around the house, attempting to make her little kite fly.
We love the letter K. And Emma thinks it's funny how big the Koala Bear's nose is.

I would love to do that...but don't know who would pay me here in Magna to teach their kids. My daughter loves it. It's amazing to see that she will sit there for a whole 45 minutes to an hour and be okay and not restless. How much did you charge, Deann? How many kids? How many days a week? etc.?
