Syllables and Shaving Cream!

Today I actually felt like I taught Alyssa something in reading :) She is basically teaching herself to read. She figures things out on her own! I usually think I am about to teach her something exciting and new...only to find out she has figured it out already :) Today we learned about syllables! She picked up on it right away, but it was a new concept for her!
To entertain Maizie while we did school work today I made a fun bag filled with shaving cream and red sugar. Underneath it I put a sheet of paper with an A written on it and some stickers. When she squished the shaving cream around she could see the pictures!
