She has the following...
An Oxford Reading Tree book that is as dull as dishwater.
A white board, plus marker and eraser.
Sheets that she's used to practise today (the letters s a and t).
An envelope with laminated words, letters and numbers as follows:
1
2
3
s
a
t
and
I
we
come
up
Preschool drop off/pick up is chaos and I was given this bag full of stuff with a cheery 'here's some things for her to practise at home' and shoved out the door.
So we've read the dull book. She can write s a and t (which she could do anyway tbh) so we've written it a few times and she's remarked that it spells sat and if you changed the s for an m it would be mat. We covered 'sh' briefly as the aforementioned book is all about 'sh'. Some child or other with a ship shop and some shells. I resisted quite admirably the urge to get her to sound out s-h-i-t. She knows her numbers up to 20 so can recognise and write them. But what else? Am I supposed to be teaching her the words in the envelope? And what? As flashcards? Or to sound them out? Or write them?
She's 3yrs old and I'm inclined to just let her go and dig up some worms tbh. But they've told me to write something in her homework book when she's finished. I'm tempted to write "dd spent Monday evening pretending to be Spiderman. She recognises this begins with s, as does the spaghetti she had for dinner. She liked the white board marker and used it to draw a spider motif on her chest to aid in aforementioned superhero aping'.
WTF am I doing here?
