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.
