Well, today was a bitter-sweet day for me. It was my last day of volunteer tutoring. I took the kids through a crash course of "Imletteration!" so they won't be frustrated when the vowels start saying a bunch of other vowels sounds. At least now they'll know that it's okay for that to happen. And, today, we finally talked about how 'Y' is sometimes a vowel. It's a vowel when it imletterates 3 of the other vowel sounds. See abc's has proved itself to be a huge success in the lives of these young children. Their teacher spoke of it in terms of "Miracles" many times. I pray they will practice during the summer now. Kids can forget a lot over three months, at that young of an age especially.
So, how is everyone feeling about school ending; those with older kids in school? I remember thinking of it as a tidal wave that I couldn't stop from happening. And, soon all of my kids would be home, all day long, every day. Oh no! Whatever was I going to do with them!!! But, by the time school began the next fall, I always was reluctant to send them back.
Heads up: I've been asked to teach a class on See abc's on June 7th. Reserve that date with more details to come.
