You know, when the teacher gets sick? Ugh...had I gotten lesson plans prepared completely before getting sick, our "substitute Mr. Dad" could have easily jumped in, but instead the kids got a lesson in keeping the house running while mom is passed out in bed.
The good thing is that we didn't miss much. We kind of glossed over stuff on Monday, completely skipped yesterday, and made it through today stumbling. Drew has a little bit of work to do on his own tomorrow before we start our day officially, and we'll be caught up. I'm hoping one more night of good solid sleep will knock whatever this crazy sinus/fever/exhausted thing I've got right out of me.
Anyone have good tips on helping a kid write cursive b? He can do l, so how hard could it be to add a little hook on the end? But he's struggling, doesn't get it, and certainly doesn't like to make it connect to another letter. He's willing to keep trying though, and that's the good part.
Me, NyQuil, and my pillow...take 2. Hopefully, the last time.
I don't know if this will help with the "b," but I try to show how the hook makes it look like the bump on the printed b. That seemed to help Sara visualize it.
