10/10/16. Today was an odd day lots to do. For W school he finished up his handwriting without tears book. Then we moved onto math. We started lesson 8 and did Warm ups, practice sheets, and temperature. He is getting really good at practice sheets 1 and 2. Finished them in under 5 1/2 minutes. Last we went over some green reading cards from AAR. E did one sentence in cursive that contained p's. Then I had him finish reading the last 2 pages of "Frank Shrank". Last we started on lesson 8 in math and did Warm ups, practice sheets, and temperature. He is getting better with practice sheets. Finished practice sheet 1 in under 6 minutes which is better than his previous time.
10/11/16. W did more work on lesson 8 this time the 2 gives strategy for math, then lesson 42 in AAR the new teaching part, and last FLL lesson 8. E did more work on lesson 8 also the 2 gives strategy for math, then lesson 40 new teaching part in AAR, and FLL lesson 8. E did very well with getting the pronouns for grammar.
10/11/16. Today was a short day. For math we finished up lesson 8 which was a game (a version of WAR), both kids played with me but separately, I had W practice a handwriting sheet that I printed off (Uppercase and lowercase letters), and he did the second half of AAR lesson 42 (game and new words). I had E finish up the p sentences for handwriting and he did the second half of AAR lesson 40 (new words). Easy day today.
So I have done a real bad job on keeping track of what we have done. Starting January I will keep a better track. With working and holidays and kidney stones over the past few months it has been really hectic.
The kids have done All the way up to lesson 15 in Math and lesson 15 in FLL. Back in Nov. E watched Titanoba snake and learned a bunch. Actually he has been watching a bunch of netflix shows about different animals. Handwriting W finished the letter d and E worked on cursive e sentences. In FLL we also veered off and did the 3 dictionary lessons. W is now on lesson 43 the second story in the lesson in AAR and E is working on the fluency sheet on lesson 40 in AAR. Again sorry for not keeping better track.

Have Hope
We went to the MagLab on 2/27/16. It was a blast and now W wants to be a scientist. They saw and played with pullies and sound.
Feb. 29, 2016. Today W finished up page 63 in HWT. E did 5 words on page 15 (most he has done yet at one time) in HWT. There was no reading for W today. Today E started a new story "The Pet Duck". He read 2 pages pgs.59-60. Next up was Math (RGHT STRT). Today we started lesson 93 subtraction. I have this has a 4 day lesson. It fits my children better. Today W went over the warm up and we reviewed addition. He did well. Today E went over the warm up and we reviewed addition. He was getting frustrated with warm up but did good with addition. We also did FLL lesson 69 today. It was just a review of previous poems.
March 1, 2016. Today W did page 64 q and started on page 65 q words in HWT. E did the last 2 words finishing up page 15 in HWT. Today W started on a new lesson in AAR. We did the first part of ng sounds and words. E read another 2 pages of his story. He was only required to read 1 but as he read page 61 he insisted that he had read that page before. I then said that it is okay and should not be a problem (he finished reading the page) and lets go ahead and read the next page since he had read this page already. So he read pages 61-62. Win for me. Today for lesson 93 we started Day 2. We did the part labeled subtracting. W did well and figured out what order to put the numbers in for turning the 5+3=8 into a subtraction problem. He did so through trial and error. E did well today also and through trial and error figured out how to turn 5+3=8 into a subtraction problem. He didn't even get frustrated with the process. I should mention that we were subracting 3 from 8 so the problem was 8-3=5. Today for FLL we review propositions, learned 4 new propositions and dictated a letter to someone else. Lesson 70. Tomorrow each child will start to copy what they dictated today. There will be NO Handwriting exercises tomorrow as both children will do this and both children will work on printing so FLL will serve to cover 2 subjects as one.
March 2, 2016. Today was a pretty good school day. Today W started to copy down the letter that he dictated to me yesterday. Although he wrote it (handwriting) in his own style large and upwards he did copy it. Will later work on placement. He had a different paper than what he is normally use to. Next we did more AAR. We finished up the ng sound with ung and then made a few words with ang, ung,ing, and ong. Last up was Math and we continued to work on lesson 93. We practiced turning addition into subtraction. Today E started to copy down the letter he dictated to me yesterday. We started off rough, so I wrote the date down and then he started to copy the rest. I was impressed. He copied more down today than I though he would. The letter placement on the lines was nice just the sizing. He did well and reminded me of when I use to write that small. Next up was 1 page reading in AAR. He read page 63. Last up was Math. Did the same that W did. Good Day.
March 3, 2016. We continued on. Finished up lesson 93 in Math. W did more work on AAR with a game and reading 6 new green cards. E read page 64 in his story. For FLL they finished copying their letters.

March 3, 2016. We continued on. Finished up lesson 93 in Math. W did more work on AAR with a game and reading 6 new green cards. E read page 64 in his story. For FLL they finished copying their letters.
March 4, 2016. No school allergies to bad.

What a 2 weeks
Feb. 7, 2016. To try to keep E on track I had him do a 2 page reading today. He read pages37-38.
Feb. 8, 2016. RGHTSTRT, AAR, Science
Today we did 3 subjects. W did worksheet 38-2. If he starts with the ones he gets it; if not he still gets it but needs a slight reminder about where to carry. E did worksheet 38-2 and his doing fantastic. Next up was Mystery Science for E and W. They did it separately. We finished mystery 2 on dinosuars. Last up was AAR. W read one page page 61. E read 1 page page 39. Today was not to bad but would have like to cover one more subject.
Feb. 9, 2016. Husband was home sick today so no school was done.
Feb. 10, 2016. AAR, FLL, HWT, and RGHTSTART
W and E started with RGHTSTART. Since they were doing good in lesson 90 I skipped worksheet 38-3 and moved onto lesson 91. I had them do a total of 4 problems from worksheet 39-1 (1), 39-2 (1), and 39-3 (2). They did well. We did the problems on a white board.
W and E next did FLL lesson 62. I changed dictation to copy for W and he wrote the sentence on a whiteboard. For E I dictated the sentence The Bat Sat; he felt the copy work was to much so we did a short sentence dictation style on a white board.
W did pages 50-51 letter r and r words in HWT. His a's are getting better. Writing has improved. E continued to work on pages 12-13. He finished up page 12 and did 4 units on page 13.
W read 3 pages of "The Pet Duck" pages 62-64. E finished up reading "The Nap".
Feb. 11, 2016.
I had both E and W do worksheet 40. This is where you put the numbers into columns and add. The numbers varied from 4 digits to 2 digits in a problem. There were 6 problems. I did not realize that they would have problems with this but when it came to things like 2883+56 it took a little while. They started to get it. We decided that 3 problems was enough for the day. W finished setting up the other 3 problems so next time he just needs to solve. E decided he wants to set up and solve on the same day. Next up was HWT. E did 4 more units on page 13. W did page 52 and 1/3 of page 53.
Feb. 12-22nd, 2016. Sorry for not keeping up. Have had a busy week and no internet for some days. Here is what we did for school. We first finished up lesson 91 with the chain game. It is a solitary game with addition. Then in math we went to lesson 92. We did opposites and I moved onto symbols <>=, we did some practice. I then one day had E go on and start an assessment on a new math online program called Math Whizz. I am hoping it will help him with place value and which place to look at when determining what is greater ect. That day I had W do a lesson on Math Seeds. Today we worked on comparing 2 quantities for <,>,= and reading the symbols. We also started working on worksheet 42.
W finished reading "The Pet Duck". I had him skip a reading day. Today he read a little on his tablet (real world reading) and I had him reread "Hit the Gas" from the first set up AAR 1 books. E started reading "At Camp". As of today he has read from 44-50.
W during this week time frame finished p. 53, 54, 55-58 in his HWT book. E during this time finished up page 13, did the h's on page 14 and 15 and 3 words on page 14 in his cursive HWT book.
This week for FLL we completed the following lessons 63 (instead of dictation I ad them circle the preposition in the sentence),64 skipped dictation, 65, 66, and 67 (we skipped dictation).

See What a Day Can Make
Feb. 1, 2016. Today was doctor's check up visit day for W. Check up went well. He talked with the doctor. Today for school we briefly started learning to ride the bike. Might have to get Daddy to help as it hurts my back and wrists. E is progressing well with the bike ride. W needs work on balance. Also we played math bingo for school today. They had to add single digit numbers together (they added to no more than 10) and we played several rounds. Love Leap Frog Bingo.
Feb. 2, 2016. Math, HWT, AAR, FLL, and shoe tying.
W started with HWT. He completed p. 47 writing sentences on single, triple, and double lines. He did the best with triple and double lines and is getting better with single lines. Need to work on lowercase a and g. He is 1/2 done with the My Printing Book with Handwriting Without Tears. 2nd up was math. Instead of doing lesson 89 in RightStart Math Level B (reviewing place value) I decided we are going to skip that lesson and do reviewing place value on the computer. I had W go to: http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/mathgames/placevalue/fruit_shoot_place_value.htm and place the easy level (numbers 1-19) untimed (10 questions) (he did great and it built his confidence), then he went onto the medium level (numbers 1-99) untimed (10 questions) again he got them all right. Last I had him go back to the easy level and do the timed (answer as many as you can). He was able to get a total of 11 with none wrong. BREAK TIME. 3rd subject was FLL lesson 60. It is picture naration on "The Great Wave off Kanagawa". He was able to answer all questions and started answering in complete sentences. 5 min. BREAK. 4th subject was shoe tying. He started back with the old fashion way. He is almost there. He is able to get one loop when tied. Just a little more practice and he will have it down pat. BREAK TIME. The 5th and final subject was AAR. He started on a new lesson and story. The story was "At Camp". He read 4 pages, pages 44-47. Very proud.
E started with HWT. He did a little more work on page 11 a,d,c and connecting them together. Hassle at first but I got him to work. 2nd up was AAR. He started on a new story today called "The Nap". He read the 1st page page 31. BREAK TIME. 3rd up was tying boots. He started back with the old fashion way. He is almost there. He is able to get one loop when tied. I showed him how to do it again with the already formed loop to fix the problem. He got it. Just a little more practice and he will have it down pat. 4th up was math. Instead of doing lesson 89 in RightStart Math Level B (reviewing place value) I decided we are going to skip that lesson and do reviewing place value on the computer. I had E go to: http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/mathgames/placevalue/fruit_shoot_place_value.htm and place the easy level (numbers 1-19) untimed (10 questions) (he did great) he didn't get any wrong, then I had him do to the easy level and do the timed (answer as many as you can). He freaked out. So I lied and said he did not have to do timed. I got him out and put him right back in without him realizing he was timed. He did good. He was able to get a total of 6 within the time frame with none wrong. The 5th and final subject was FLL lesson 60. It is picture naration on "The Great Wave off Kanagawa". He was answered all questions. We need to work on d answering in complete sentences. I model how to do that after he answered.

Feb. 3, 2016. AAR, RGHTSTRT
W started with AAR. He did good with reading. He is now up to reading 4 pages at a time. He struggled a little today with some words but with others he read with no hesitation. He read pages 50-53. Almost done with "At Camp". BREAK. Next we started on lesson 90 4 digit adding on the abacus. W did a very good job adding the 4 digits without the abacus. He understands the concept. He just got one part wrong the thousands spot. He started by adding the tens and ones spots and then the hundreds spot and then the thousands spot so: 4817+2639 he did (17+39) 800+600 and then (4000+2000). We then did it on the abacus with ones spot first, traded, tens spot next, hundreds spot, traded and then the thousands spot. He saw what he should have done in the thousand spot. As his answer was 61456 not 7456.
E started with AAR. He read 2 pages in "The Nap" pages 32-33. Next up is Math. We started lesson 90 4 digit adding on the abacus. Still trying to get through to him. He wants to add it all together not just the individual place values. Not sure if it is his OCD or not but I will get through to him.
Feb. 4, 2016. AAR, RGHTSTRT, FLL, HWT
W did school in the afternoon. W started with HWT. He did pages 48-49. He did 1/3 of page 49. Next he did the next part of lesson 90 in Math. The book says lesson 90 is a 5 day lesson so we are on day 2. W is doing great, understands the concepts and can add them using paper without the abacus. Next up was reading. W finished reading the last 4 pages of "At Camp". BREAK. Last was FLL lesson 61 prepositions. We continued to work on the definition and added more prepositions to our list. With the first 4 prepositions he was able to make sentences. The last 6 he needed help. E will do his work tonight.
E did school starting early evening. He read the next 2 pages (p.34-35). Next up is HWT finishing up page 11. After that we moved onto Math while he was eating dinner. The book says lesson 90 is a 5 day lesson so we are on day 2. E did better today we used the abacus and he was starting to get how to solve the 4 digit problems. BREAK. Last up was FLL lesson 61 prepositions. We continued to work on the definition and added more prepositions to our list. Next time he will do half of school in the afternoon and he can finish up the other half at night but doing everything at night is not going to work.
Feb. 5, 2016. Today was the best homeschooling day ever. It flowed like never before. We took several breaks inbetween subjects and during subjects. AAR, RGHTSTRT, HWT, Mystery Sceince
I started off each boy with a HWT assignment. W finished page 49. He wrote really well. E worked on pages 12-13 (cursive g) he did 3 1/2 lines. 2nd up was RGHTSTRT lesson 90 continuation. Worksheet 38-1. W got it no problems. I helped with reminding where to carry. E is starting to get it. Not sure if he is just doing what the steps are or if he understands. Even if it is just the steps right now that is a step in the right direction. He did the whole page without the abacus. 3rd up was AAR. W started on a new story "The Pet Duck" he read 2 pages this time. Pages 59-60. Last up was Mystery Science. Mystery 2 in animals: Structures & Adaptations, Fossil Evidence, Classification. We did 1/2 of the lesson. Both E and W did this but did it separately.

Busy Week
I'm not sure who all is actually following but we just had our evaluations done for the year. I hope to incorporate some things and move my oldest a long a little more. Although E is making progress.
1/25/16. 1st day of school since Evaluation. Will cover Handwriting, Grammar, Learning to read, and math.
W started with math. Today was the start of lesson 88 in Righstart 1st Edition level B. I have broken it down into 1/3 parts. We did the 1st 1/3 today. Next up was Handwriting. We did page 45 out of the yellow Handwriting without tears book. We worked on the letter Jj. When W takes his time he does good. Next up was Learning to read. We went over 20 green cards in the AAR level 1 not mastered pile. He mastered the word clock out of those 20. We then focused on 5 words and worked on those for a few minutes. Break Time. Last thing was grammer. Did FLL level 2 lesson 58 and W did copy work instead of dictation.
E started with reading. He read the next 2 pages in AAR level 1 story "Fun at the Pond" pages 20-21. Took a break. Next up was FLL level 2 lesson 58. E did dictation (the sentence My hands are in the air.). One accomplishment is that he wrote the entire sentence. I see some sizing issues and resistance in writing a lower case t for the so he wrote T for the. Still a win for he wrote the whole thing and I did not. Took a break. Next up was the start of lesson 88 in Righstart 1st Edition level B. I have broken it down into 1/3 parts. We did the 1st 1/3 today. He got a little bored and hard to keep on track. Took a break. Last thing was Handwriting cursive Orange book finished page 10.
1/26/16. Today we will cover Handwriting-HWT, Grammar (FLL), Learning to Read-AAR, and Math(RGHTST).
W started with HWT. He did p. 46 writing lower case words on double, triple, and single lines. Single lines gave the most trouble. Next up was FLL lesson 59 more about prepositions. We used a plate, knife, fork, spoon, cup, and napkin to practice some of the prepositions and to learn a little bit about place settings. Break Time. Next up was Math. He covered in no time what it took for E. Although E does get distracted easily. I did not move ahead but will consider it. Last was 20 AAR green cards. Mastered 1 at. Reviewed 10.
E started with math. We continued to work on lesson 83. I think we will need to set a timer and end once 20-30min is up next time. We spent about 35-40 min. He was bored and I was frustrated. Next up was FLL lesson 59 more about prepositions. We used a plate, knife, fork, spoon, cup, and napkin to practice some of the prepositions and to learn a little bit about place settings. Break Time. Next he worked on 1/2 of page 11. He did 1/2 of the 1/2 so 1/4 total. Then Break. Later that night he did the other 1/4 so 1/2 of 1 page is now completed. The first part needed a little work but I showed him a trick with connecting and writing the cursive a and d. That night he did dad and add nicely, cad still needs work. Last up was 2 page reading. He read the next 2 pages (pgs. 22-23).
1/30/16. E finished reading the last 4 pages of "Fun at the Pond".

Next up was FLL lesson 59 more about prepositions. We used a plate, knife, fork, spoon, cup, and napkin to practice some of the prepositions and to learn a little bit about place settings. Break Time. Next he worked on 1/2 of page 11. He did 1/2 of the 1/2 so 1/4 total. Then Break. Later that night he did the other 1/4 so 1/2 of 1 page is now completed. The first part needed a little work but I showed him a trick with connecting and writing the cursive a and d. That night he did dad and add nicely, cad still needs work. Last up was 2 page reading. He read the next 2 pages (pgs. 22-23).
1/30/16. E finished reading the last 4 pages of "Fun at the Pond".

One thing that we started last week that I will not write about constantly is Calendar time. The kids switch on and off as to who does the calendar. We go over the month, what today is, tomorrow is, yesterday was, season, and the weather. We also chart the weather and after a month will transition the chart into bar and pie charts.
Another thing that is regular in the house is watching shows like wild kratts and octonauts. They learn a lot of animal science that way.
Friday was my birthday so we watched movies and did no school.

Starting off right
January 6, 2016. I woke up not to well today. Headache so it took awhile to get into the swing of things and then the boys were playing so nicely. We finally started school. Today only accomplished 2 subjects: Math and reading.
W-we went over greater than and less than and then we went over place values: 245, 17, 426 for instance. 245 which number is in the tens spot, ect. for each number. We will review this again. I think he has the greater than/less than symbols down. Last we did AAR started lesson 34. We reviewed 10 green cards: will have fun mastered here soon. Then started the story of "Fun at the Pond" in the Cobweb the cat book Level 1 vol. 3. He read 4 pages pgs.10-13.
E-we went over place value using a white board and dimes and pennies. E is having problems knowing which is the tens spot and which is the ones spot and what to compare so I though using manipulatives might help. I made a chart and using the dimes and pennies I made up numbers like: pennies equal ones and dimes equal 10 so if we have the number 42 (we had 4 dimes and 2 pennies set out) where does the 2 go and where does the 4 go. We did several of these. He started to get the hang of it. We then went on to greater than/less than. He did well with 12 15. He knew 15 was greater and he picked the correct symbol. He did okay with 12 22. He knew that 12 was less than but he picked the wrong symbol. I then showed him how we point to the smaller number while eating the bigger number, which helped in picking the correct symbol. He still needed work on other numbers like 12 31. He first picked 31 but because the number because 3 is bigger than 1. We then brought out the money. He then picked out 12 because 2 is bigger than 1. I asked which unit is bigger the dimes or pennies. He said dimes. I said yes. We always start comparing the bigger unit first. So then he was able to do it properly. We also compared numbers like 33 and 31 with money so he could see what to do when the bigger number was the same and numbers like 43 and 33 so he could see why we pick the bigger unit first. Next we moved onto AAR. We went over 10 green cards and then started the story of "Fun at the Pond" in the Cobweb the cat book Level 1 vol. 3. He read 2 pages pgs.10-11.
January 7, 2016. Today we did AAR, math, and FLL.
W started with reading. We went over 10 green cards today-non mastered. Then we started where we left off on "Fun at the Pond". W wants to be done with the story on Friday so he chose to read 6 pages today. He read pages. 14-19. He then took a break. Next we did math. We went over place value. I had written several numbers from 1 digit to 3 digits. I then asked him to cross out the number in a certain place, ex. 435 what number is in the hundreds spot. He has hundreds down pat. Needs a little more work on ones and tens as he confuses them sometimes. Think for now we will move on (maybe tomorrow I will add thousands spot). Last we did Lesson 56 on FLL level 2. It dealt with articles. He needs work on vowels. Once he has a e i o u down as vowels. I think he will have a and an down on when to use them (at least in writing).
E started with math. We went over which 2 digit number is bigger or smaller. We also used the < > symbols. He has the symbols down. For the most part he now knows which 2 digit number is bigger or smaller. Had some problems with 82 vs 28 but once we went over which spot to look at he was able to get it. Next we went onto reading 10 green cards-non mastered. He then wanted a small break. After break he started where he left off on "Fun at the Pond" and read 2 more pages. He read pages 12-13. He then took another break. Last was Lesson 56 on FLL level 2. It dealt with articles. Needs work on when to use an.
January 8, 2016. So today is one of those grumpy cold sleepy weather days. Today Reading and Math.
W started with reading. We went over 10 more green cards: W mastered 2: fun and an. He finished the last 8 pgs and therefore finished the story "Fun at the Pond". Next up we did a worksheet for finding the place value of thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones. He did well only missed 3 out of 17.
E did some writing all on his own. Went over 6 green cards (compromise-I wanted 10). He mastered 2: of and in. Then he read 2 more pages from "Fun at the Pond" pgs. 14-15. We went over a worksheet with tens and ones. He only got a part of one wrong because he mis counted how many 10's there were.
W-we went over greater than and less than and then we went over place values: 245, 17, 426 for instance. 245 which number is in the tens spot, ect. for each number. We will review this again.

Getting back on track.
December 28, 2015. Today W finished up the Let's Go Learn ADAM assessment for math. He did well and looks like he is on track. W also did more reading in the phrases and sentences section another 1/2 page lesson 33 AAR.
E also finished up the Let's Go Learn ADAM assessment for math. He went backwards on the first part of the test I believe this is because he originally did not want to do the test but will be reviewing what he got wrong this time that he had gotten right last time. E finished up one page on the AAR lesson 33 fluency sheet.
December 29, 2015. Today E did school with no hassel and earned candy. I was very happy and proud. He read today 1/3 of a page of the phrases and sentences section lesson 33 fluency sheet AAR. For math we went over counting backwards and we went over addition with objects. He did well. We also filled in the black with missing numbers.
Today W did the last 1/2 page of lesson 33 AAR fluency sheet, only 1 more page to go. For math we went over the symbols, < > = and not = (E was there listening and participating too). W also went over addition with objects. All in all today was a good day and well deserved candy for both.
December 30, 2015. Today W finished up the fluency sheet lesson 33 in AAR level 1. Next we reviewed greater than and less then. I did up some problems like 24, 24>33, 24<33, and 24=33 and he had to choose the correct one. W did fine although once in a while he would mix it up. Remember the open part eats the bigger number.
Today E continued to work on the fluency sheet lesson 33 he did another 2 phrases and sentences. We also reviewed greater than and less then. I did up some problems like 24, 24>33, 24<33, and 24=33 and he had to choose the correct one. I did the same reminder with E. E understands the concept but his biggest problem comes on numbers like 24 and 33 or 20 and 12. I need to get him to look at the 10's spot not the ones spot. He did good on numbers 8 and 4 and on 15 and 16.
December 31, 2015. I gave W today and tomorrow off. E still had reading to do and will do until Sunday. E read 2 more phrases and sentences and now has finished up one page. One page left to do which will be about 3 days. Lesson 33 fluency sheet AAR level 1.
January 1, 2016. Almost forgot to have E read today. It was late. I gave him the choice of either reading double tomorrow (afternoon and then night) or going ahead and reading now. He chose now. He did good.
January 2, 2016. Forgot to have him read will extend the reading by 1 day.
January 3, 2016. Today E read 2 more phrases/sentences. It was late, he was tired, he did with daddy. Not so great. To late at night.
January 4, 2016. Today E read and finished up fluency sheet lesson 33. He did at night but early evening. He did good. Daddy was more impressed this time than last time.
E also finished up the Let's Go Learn ADAM assessment for math.
