October 6, 2014. Today handwriting was the lowercase letter g. We listened to At the Zoo in spanish and are learning the word look. Science today was look at something outside and draw it. E drew a bumblebee and we will research it on Wednesday. W drew the sun and we will research it on Wednesday. AAR today was review some words. Math today was working on Thousands.
October 7, 2014. Today was a good day with the children even with the setbacks we ended up having. Set backs include my allergies were very bad so no Math today will do math tomorrow instead. Also a set back would be the work they are having done upstairs. Lots of noise. So today was Fluency reading sheets with AAR. E hates these however I used a highlighter blue and yellow and marshmallows. He chose to read the blue lines and did great no hassles guess marshmallows are a winner. W also chose blue and he received M & Ms at the end of each line. We reviewed signs. Baby, grandmother, grandfather, mother, dad, brother, sister, toilet, cousin, television, bed, and telephone. W knew most and will move on to more signs. E knew some. I think he knows more than what he was letting on but we will review and add an additional sign, unless he shows me he knows them and in which case we will had more signs. FLL lesson 9 was a Camels Nose. They were able to answer the questions and name one thing that they remembered. W remembered the camels nose being cold. E remembered the whole camel going inside.
October 8, 2014. Today another good day with AAR fluency sheet. Both kids are responding well to the Marshmallows (E) and M&Ms (W). They even chose to do an extra line. E also started to move the window on his on. The window shows one word at a time. We worked on Math today. Thousands, place value, and how to write the number (example: 1432). Slow progress but I think they will get it. It is just learning to replace those zeros. Sign Language: W learned some new signs. E showed he new brother and is only learning 1 new sign. Handwriting was the letter q. E and W did a good job with this letter today. Next handwriting will be the whole family (a, d, g, and q). Spanish we heard "Come to the Zoo". Learning the word Look in Spanish. E did a really nice pronunciation of a whole sentence after the computer said it. Science today was Wild Krattz on Ottors. No School tomorrow as Daddy is home.
October 10, 2014. Today not so good. We started with Math working on Thousands. Started with W first. For some reason he was not cooperating. We took a break for bkft and then finished up the math. It seemed like it took forever. Next was E. Same thing although I think he understood the thousands a little better. W had some trouble with the worksheet whereas E did fine. We finished our AAR fluency sheet and earned our sticker for completing the whole lesson. Last thing was handwriting. We wrote a, d, g, q. I think they still need some practice on those letters. Tomorrow, Saturday, another school day.
October 11, 2014. Some days it is hard to separate the home behavior from the school behavior. The kids had a hard time sleeping last night. Luckily they did wake up a little later but not late enough. Today I let them pick the order they wanted to do the assignments. First up was Science. W watched a video about the sun and learned that when the sun "sneezes" it is called gas. I watched the video after he did and it was interesting. E watched a video on pollination. Not as fascinating of a video but it worked. Next on the list was FLL. We reviewed "The Goops" and started the poem "The Year". Next the kids started their year book. After that onto Math. Today was Triangles and the importance of practice. We learned about parallelograms, how to fit triangles together, and practiced adding 1+_ and _+1. E then went onto Spanish and review signs. We listened to "Come To The Zoo". For sign language: I signed and he had to tell me what the sign was. Next and last on the list was AAR. Today was read a story. E did not want to he threw a fit, sounded out the words (not read them just sounded them out) however eventually he read (with and without sounding them out). W chose AAR as his next one and did well. He even read a whole sentence without sounding it out. Then he chose Spanish: listened to "Come To The Zoo" and quizzed Daddy on the word Look. Last was Sign. We went over door, mirror, and refrigerator . All in all school was a good day.
