It had been a while since we'd done a "project". A learning project that is. So last week when it was rainy and cloudy out we got to work. Maggie had to find something in the house (or think of a word) that started with every letter of the alphabet and write it down. She did awesome with this. She got almost all of them and did her best to spell them by sounding out the words.

For Maya I set out all these letter cards I had all over the room. (we're still working on letter recognition) Then in a bowl I gave her these little chips with each letter on them. She was supposed to match the letter on the chip to the letter on the card. She started out with a bang.

Then peetered out after about 4 letters. Oh well. She still has the attention span of a gnat.

Then I thought it would be fun for them to create their names out of popcicle sticks. Maya has really been working on writing her name lately and has finally succeeded!!! (that Y was a tricky one!) So anyway, they made the letters and I helped them glue them together, then they got out the paints and went to work.

Mags wanted to add a "K" onto her name. "Just like it is on her mailbox" (at the gym).

After they were painted we added some ribbon and they became names on their bedroom doors. Another successful project!
