  • Counting my water with alphabet magnets

    I fill my water cup throughout the day and often loose track of how many I have had. Then I was looking at my fridge, which is coverd in letters and other magnets and I had a great idea. I cleared off a space on the fridge and now each time I fill my water glass I move a magnet to my counting space. This way I can easily keep track of how much water I still need to drink.

              That is a great idea. I use the little magnet whiteboard myself. Every morning when my daughter wakes up she dates it for the day. When I wake up, every time I grab a glass, I just tally up right there. It is very helpful.

                I used to teach Kindergarten so I had hundreds of those little letters. I brought some to school (HS kdis love them!) and now I have somethign I can do with the rest. MAybe spell a word out adn when you spell out the whole word you have reached your goal for the day. Good thinking.
