Fletcher and I have been under the weather with a little tummy bug and were experiencing cabin fever, so yesterday we ran to the newly remodeled and enlarged education store at Concord Mill to have some things laminated (if I had one of those machines, everything I own would be laminated!) and we ate lunch and rode the carousel in the Food Court. This week we have also played some new games that Mommy made: fishing for words (words written on index cards with paper clips attached that we caught with our fishing rods, then read the words together), and name the house (names of household items on index cards that Fletcher chooses from a pile, we read together and Fletcher puts the card on the appropriate item), and rhyming words matching game with picture cards. I got motivated by the books I have read recently and these were all fun to play and easy to make! Fletcher has known his upper case letters and the letter sounds forever now, but we are just learning the lower case letters and working on blends (like st, ch, etc. ) and he is picking them up really fast! Hopefully tomorrow we can get out to the library and to art class. I am off this weekend (woo-hoo!) and so is Ed. Aaron is coming this weekend to help us do some projects around the house and to watch Fletcher one night so Ed and I can go out. Hope you all have a great weekend!

Love the games. Great thing about them - you can expand upon them in many different ways.
And there's nothing like having fun to stimulate learning - even if you don't know you're learning.
On of these days you'll hear him say 'Look what I learned to do all by myself'.
