starting off good

October 26, 2015.  AAR, FLL, RGHT Math, Handwriting/self esteem, and dictation.
     W started of with reading 2 pages in AAR (pgs. 144-145).  Then we moved on math lesson 82 even/odd rules.  Finished the whole lesson.  W needs a tad bit more work on even/odd rules but generally understands the concept.  Break.  3rd up was handwriting.  I titled a page the good things I do.  Then W told me 5 good things he did.  I wrote them down and he copied them.  They were:  Playing, Friendship, Walking dog, Caring, and Helper.  4th item up was dictation.  W dictated to me somethings that he did at Optimist Park yesterday.  He had to speak in complete sentences.  I will rewrite and we will use this to review nouns, punctuation, things that we have learned in FLL.  Finally the last thing up was FLL Adverbs (no dictation).
     E started with Math lesson 82.  Finished it up.  Understood the even/odd rules very well.  Next up was reading in AAR.  Started a new story "The Runt Pig"  read 1 pg. (pg. 136).  Break.  3rd up was dictation.   E dictated to me somethings that he did at Optimist Park yesterday.  He had to speak in complete sentences.  I will rewrite and we will use this to review nouns, punctuation, things that we have learned in FLL.   4th up was FLL Adverbs (no dictation).  Last subject was handwriting the good things that I do.  At first had hassle but through comprise he finished the work.  They were:  Play, Help, Write, Friend, and Grocery.
     Today was a good day and I feel like we accomplished a lot.

     E started the day off.  We first did code work (abc each letter received a number and then we wrote out a code using the numbers).  Next was math.  Lesson 83 continuing the pattern.  Usually E is very good at patterns but he was not focusing today.  We got through 1/3 of the lesson as planned.

October 28, 2015.  Daddy was home sick no school.  Kids did learn the value of cleaning and cooperation.

October 29, 2015.  Daddy was home sick no formal school.  Kids decided on their own to write on sticky notes different words that they sounded out.  I helped with spelling a few words like daddy, puppy, house....they spelled words like pup, dog on their own.

October 30, 2015.  RGHT math, AAR, FLL.
      W did RGHT math lesson 83 second 1/3.  AAR pg. 147.  FLL lesson  49 + addressed a "postcard".  E did RGHT math lesson 83 second 1/3.  AAR pg.138.  FLL lesson 49+addressed a "postcard".  E also did "dinosaur research".  We looked up different types of raptors, rexes and prehistoric animals.  He then figured out what the beginning sound was and wrote it on his board.  He filled up 2 boards (1 big and 1 small).  To most people this would not seem like a lot but for my son this was an amazing accomplishment.  He wrote alot.
