S-A-M

Sam has been having trouble finding his name at school. When Jonah and Sam get to their school they have to check in. They find the apple with their name on it and move it from one side of the board to the other. Sounds simple right?

Jonah finds his name immediately and has usually taken off his coat, hung it up, taken his folder out of his backpack, and walked into his classroom before Sam correctly finds his name. It drives me CRAZY!

So a few months ago I made place mats for eating at home with each kids name on it. I figured that Sam spends so much time eating that surely it would sink in if he stared at his name 3 times a day every day for 30 minutes a pop.

Then last week he incorrectly moved the apple with the name "Sidney" from one side of the board to the other 3 times in a row! The EXACT same wrong apple. 3 times! I freaked out! His teacher even looked worried.

And then today we had a breakthrough...




Jonah knows that his name is longer than J-O, but those are the only letters that he can write so far......
