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.
Feb. 6, 2016. Hey I forgot to have E do his reading yesterday. So today he read 1 page. page 36.
