We have had a little dilemma in our household. Our oldest, Chandler, has no desire to like school. She has been having the hardest time with it, and has been struggling with her reading. She is such a smart little girl, but can't find the focus she needs to improve and do well. We have been trying everything to teach her that learning and reading are fun, but she hasn't been convinced.
For FHE, we decided to use an idea from "Family Fun". (To read my thoughts on this wonderful mag, Go HERE!) We hopped on our bikes, & took them on an alphabet scavenger hunt around the neighborhood. We encouraged them to find as many letters of the alphabet as they could, out of objects in nature. It turned out to be so much fun. The kids were totally into it, and both found so many letters. It is definitely a game that we will continue to play.
Here are some of our favorite Letter Finds! Can you tell what they are?
(X, A, t, M)
(O, A, N, r)
If any one has any other ideas, advice, or helpful hints, please let me know!

Great Activity Hanna! You're such a great mom!
Awesome! We go on nature walks and I have a alphabet paper with each letter. Then they find objects that begin with that letter....my favorite ever is M....Kennedy said Caleb..I said no Caleb is with a C. She said...Mean Caleb! HA!! HA!
Can't wait to see you soon!
