Better late...

Ok I just figured it out. What can I say I can be alittle dense sometime. You all know I have had problem with Corey's attitude regarding school from time to time. Corey is a smart kid. I realized that he gets bored by doing the same thing to many times. So I just have to be creative and find new ways to teach him. Easy right? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My imagination can run dry sometimes. So if you have any suggestions (specialy for vocabulary & spelling), PLEASE share.

For Chloe we have been doing her spelling words and sight words in a "word box".

She puts her words in a box and we pull 5-10 out each day and has to read them to us.

We make a game of it, with her eyes closed while she picks and all. Most days she will draw more words out than I ask her too just to see if she read them!

I keep one for words that we have already focused on and one for current spelling words. The twins each have a letter box that they use. I posted pictures on my blog a while back I think, check it out.

We go over spelling in the car each morning, practice spelling tests 2X a week, and leave a list of spelling words on the TV stand for her to look over eaach night before bed.

When I have her practice writing them she uses different things, chalkboard, whiteboard, paper, markers, crayons, pencils.

You have probably done all of these things but I thought they may be helpful. Good luck!
