2/23/15. Started off playing Word Bingo. Each child had the same words but in a different random order. I put stripes of paper in a bag and drew a word. First round they both got bingo. Next round E won but insisted that they do a do over because they both had to win. It worked out and total rounds played was 5 with 3 being a tie and 2 being a do over. They also enjoyed the candy as a prize. Next variations will be: 1) one of them will read out the words and I will participate and 2) they will have some different words instead of all the same words. The words that were chosen were from there not mastered list in AAR. Next up was Math game. They played N16 (number sense) out of math card games from Rightstart. I used this game to help them recognize the quantities 1-10 without counting. Both did good. E said he only counted for the number 8. We played 3 levels each level increasing with difficulties. 1st level-the bead cards were set out in order and the number cards were random and they matched them up, 2nd level-the bead cards 1-5 and 6-10 were mixed up and the number cards were random and they matched them up, and 3rd level-the number cards stayed down in the order of level 2 and the bead cards were random and they matched them up. Tomorrows math game is A3 (addition up to 10). Moved onto Handwriting in Cool Wip. E and W loved it. We wrote some words working on a and g.
Third on the list was All About Spelling. I had the kids listen to the phonogram sounds for u,o,y,i, and c on the computer. Then they did segmenting 3. Segmenting the word pig for instance is p, i, g. Both did well although E caught on quicker and W needs to start doing left to right instead of right to left. Last was Sign with Signing Time episode 7 season 1.
2/24/15. Today was a slow day as I needed to help out a friend. Today we started out with Reading Eggs. W did spelling in reading eggs and E did a regular lesson in reading eggs. Tonight I will get everything ready for tomorrow.
2/25/15. Today my back hurt really bad so the only thing they did was watch about dinosaurs on you-tube. No school today.
2/26/15. We started with math game (A3 addition up to 10). Game is called Go to the Dump. W really loves this game. E likes the game. E used an abacus once in awhile which is allowed by the game. More practice with this game and they will have it down pat. Onto AAR fluency sheet. Neither child wanted to do the work. Ever since we went to blends they fight it. They need more blend practice. They did some reading of the fluency page and we will move on to the next subject here soon. Break needed by everyone after reading. Tomorrow's math game will be A6 (Five In A Row Solitaire). This game works on 10 facts. Last on the list was FLL. We did lesson 34 a review on the parts of speech and then added conjuctions. Today was dictation day. I spelled the words so the kids could write. We also worked on problem solving. If I don't like what my brother is doing what are my options and which option should I chose.
2/27/15. We started off with a math game the Next Even/Odd. Both boys responded well to this game and I realized the importance of reviewing. I chose this game as it will help when adding +1 and +2 to a number. The winner was a tie again. How do they do that? E also stated that he had 10 stacks of 3. So there is a bonus to learning multiplication. Also we went over how E had 4 even stacks and 6 odd stacks and W had 6 even stacks and 4 odd stacks. I also counting each card so they could see that 3 stacks of 10 equals 30. Next up is AAR fluency sheet. W read with no hassel today. Guess he wants that star so he can have fun at Fun Station tomorrow. E read with no hassel today also. Choices it is great. Last on the list is Signing Time. We watched and learned various signs for things in a room including the word room. Netflix season 1 esp. 8 part 1.
