Play-dough words

Today's amusing "homeschooling" activity was play-dough words -- or rather, word. I made up some cards with useful words on them in huge type, and Erika rolled out snakes to lay over the letters. I decided to try this activity because I wanted to see if doing something that required extended time with one particular word would help that word get really set in her mind. Anyway, she decided one word was enough ("you"), but she had fun and seems to know exactly how to read and spell it now. We'll see whether she wants to do this again on another day with a different word.
