A New Game

A lady I work with has a son and daughter who are a few years older than Luke and Katherine but the are the same number of years apart and her son's name is Harrison (Luke's middle name) and her daughter's name is Kate (Kathryn).  We do not get to work together much but we enjoy it when we do as we have lots in common!  We worked together this week and she brought some things she found while cleaning out her closets.  Luke's favorite is a new Thomas movie.  This movie was made in 2000 and Alec Baldwin was in. Definitely must have been a low point in his career.  It really is silly to me but Luke loves it.  She also gave him some animal flash cards.  Since he already knows all his animals we turn the cards over with the word side up.  We then ask Luke to find the different animal names -- elephant, giraffe, crab, etc.  He is pretty good at it.  If he hesitates when we ask him one we ask him to sound out the word and he determines what letter the animal starts with then looks for that letter.  We then have him spell out the word.   It is so neat to see how quickly he learns.
