We started school last week. The first couple of days were rough. We worked out a few kinks and are happily going along now. Madeline is cooperative for the most part. She loves listening to the read aloud books. Handwriting has become less of a battle even in the short 2 weeks since we've started. Duncan is cooperating pretty well. He keeps himself occupied for the most part. We try to do some crafts while he takes his morning nap. Some days he skips his morning nap and we don't do crafts. Our fall activities haven't started yet so we're getting a good idea how this will work before they do.
This week Madeline:
started reading long vowel/silent e words.
learned the 1's addition family and worked with number bonds
memorized Hebrews 11:1 and learned what Faith is
flew a kite and finger painted
learned the value of a dime, counted by 10's
learned to write letters Gg through Kk properly.
started reading The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe at bedtime
AND got a new bed!
This week Duncan:
learned to climb on his mail cart (that got put away)
started imitating animal noises
picked up his own toys
started really sitting for books and bringing them to us to read to him
colored using both his right hand AND his left hand, slightly preferring his left
This week I:
totally slacked on the housework
made some yummy turkey burgers on the grill and a yummy quiche
reconnected with an old friend
Next weeks goals:
take some pictures of school, do more crafts, and loose 2 pounds (started weight watchers again today)
Love the different colors: they were fun! Sounds like a fun week... especially reconnecting with an old friend.
