Cutting Shapes and Using the Glue Stick!

Mark is home with us today, so our routine got a bit out of order while Creston went with Daddy to help in the wood shop for a little bit this morning. When he came back, though, he was excited to learn something else, so off we went! Our computer has been acting up quite a bit lately, so I didn't get to print off any new work-sheets, but we used what I had already printed off. We went over letters A-F again, and he can recognize A & C! YAY!! (Except for when Mark quizzed him, and then he couldn't remember much of anything which made me feel like a worthless pile of goo.....) Anyway..........
We went over the writing of the letters A-F again and he actually tried it today! I told him that I just knew he could do it if he tried and he did! He had a little difficulty understanding that he needed to stay within the lines while writing, but other than that, I was tickeled pink with how well he did!
Lastly, I drew some shapes onto construction paper and let him cut some of them out (I helped cut some out since he was getting aggravated), and then we broke out the glue stick (Purple!!) and I let him stick them onto his paper however he wanted to! He liked that! He didn't want them to overlap, though, so he put the black shapes onto the back of his page! (Note that Mackie joined us today in his High Chair! He brought his book to read and sat there and read/watched as we worked on this last project!)



All in all, it was a good day!!!
