So we have not done school for a little over a month now. My husband had to have kidney surgery for a mass found on the kidney, so we were gone for a week for that. We had to get ready for it and get things in order when we got back home. Things have been wild.
Today March 28, 2017 I broke out a reading game that the kids and I had made up quite sometime ago. They had fun. W won. I do want it noted that the first time we played the game E was okay with it. This time E wanted to be able to roll a number so he could pick a card to read. That is an improvement. This is what we did for school today.
We have had much go on and like the title says Life Happens. We are now back on School.
School started yesterday April 24th. We are starting slowly and will continue into the summer. As a reminder I do both kids separately. We started with Math lesson 21 and went until we got to the worksheet area. Both kids did this separately. Then we moved onto Reading. I have learned that I have misplaced by AAR level 1 book but that is okay it has not stopped us. If you recall W finished level 1. So I had W read a small book called " Fun in the Sun" by Harry Reynolds it is a decodable reader 35. Only 2 words needed to be learned they and have. He did quite well. He impressed himself. E left off on Fluency sheet 42 the first page. I had him finish the first page up.
Today April 25th we again started with Math lesson 21. The boys did the worksheet each in a separate room. W did excellent. He only got 1 wrong and that was a counting error which he corrected himself. E did okay. I had changed the format for him (instead of 49+52= I had done up the worksheet as 49. This did him better. We did the first one together so he could remember
+52
------ carrying. He got 5 wrong but I noticed that was mostly because we need to work on or review how to write the teen numbers. So for 10 he would write 01 instead of 10. Once I pointed this out he was able to correct his work on his own. School continued tonight. W read "One to Five" another decodable reader. He just needed help reading the words one, two, three, four, five. He was able to read everything else. He read the book to Daddy. E really surprised me tonight. We continued on his fluency sheet 42. We started and finished the 2nd page (all 60 words) on the fluency sheet. He was pumped and I couldn't get him to stop. He did well and I was impressed.
April 26, 2017 lots going on so we concentrated on math. Today was the first day of math games in lesson 21. Skip counting memory. We did the 2's and 3's. They read words on the games of their tablets for reading.
April 27th still lots going on. Today was day 2 of math games in lesson 21. Skip counting memory with the 4's and 5's. Again they read words on the games of their tablets.
Today April 28th. Don't normally do much if anything this school year on Fridays. They are big into the Jurassic Park game on their tablets. I have them practice their reading when time comes and I help with words they cannot sound out just yet. We also are doing lesson 21 games. Skip counting memory with the 6's and 7's.
