This week has brought us winter-like weather, coughs, runny noses, and colds. Where is my Spring weather? The last few weeks I have sorted through the kids winter clothes and added their spring/summer clothes to the drawers. Now, we are back to winter jackets and long sleeves. Bummer.
I have noticed a change with J in her reading. She asks to read everything now. No longer is she happy to sit back and let me read. She wants to read herself! This is an amazing change. Here, she is reading her Bible story. Even though there are words that she doesn't know, she tries to sound them out. I am so proud of her!
J is still working on subtraction using a ten frame. I like the visual it provides while working on her math problems.
J finished Explode the Code 1 1/2 and began the Explode the Code 2. This book starts with blends which is perfect since that is what we are practicing in reading.
J is still practicing her sight words. Here she is working on rainbow word writing.
J writing her own "guess my animal" clues. She wrote three sentences about an animal and I had to guess what it was. She is using her word wall for help with spelling.
J brought out her handwriting book and worked on a couple of pages. I hope to have this book done by the end of the school year.
We played sight word Candy Land game. I found the free Candy Land game cards from Ironic Adventures. She has several different sets that you can print such as letters, addition, and subtraction. This is a great way to use an existing game for review. I love it.
Kaleb went to town with the salt tray. He basically dumped and poured the salt using his measuring cups and such. This gave J a chance to vacuum, a good life skill. She wanted to help so I let her clean it up. She did a good job. We had a good week, it would have been better if it wasn't so cold and rainy. See you next week.
