Oh And…

Wingnut had a blast!
Ren fair

We went to the Ren fair today and ran into some friends who dressed up
Letter Sounds
Wingnut has been showing an abundant interest in letters lately. It really hit home when he was sounding out letters he was seeing on signs while riding in the car. I have been telling him the letter sounds randomly with no real sequence and his amazing memory astounds me. You tell him the sound once and he remembers it. So far he knows: a, b, c, d, e, f, h, k, m, o, p, s, and t. One weird thing is, I can have him sound out the letter sounds for some words like ’sat’ and he will say every sound correctly but then he will not say the word in his everyday speech. I know he can pronounce it he just won’t say it. He is definitely my stubborn little boy
Even the little girl who watches him on Mondays says he is stubborn, lol. So I decided that when I am homeschooling my brother-in-law on Wednesdays and Thursdays I would put together some activities and really start working on the letters sounds since he wants to. He know half of them already, we are almost there!
New Name
I am really bad at naming things for example, we had a cat and I named her little girl for lack of a better name. So when I needed a name for my block tutorial I came up with wonky star ring but it just sounded funky. When Machen und Tun made the block she called it circle of wonky stars, which sounds way better. So the new name for the block will be what she came up with and I wanted to say thank you to her for the idea
Wonky Star Ring Sighting
The sweet lady over at Machen und Tun made the wonky star ring block!!! You should go to her site to see it. If you would like to make one as well I have a tutorial here.
