Although the Elf on the Shelf is a lot of work, I love that J is writing about his antics every day. She writes what he has done and draws a picture. When the month is done and Jingle is back in the North Pole, we will put all of the pages together so she can remember the funny things he did.
Her story of the week was My Buddy Stan. It was a cute story written in the pet dog's perspective. She read it every day for fluency practice.
She is just about finished with her handwriting practice book. She is now writing numbers at the end of the book. I will have to think of some other way for her to practice her handwriting everyday.
She practiced counting coins this week for Math. She is getting better at it although she still sometimes mistakes some of the coin values.
J and I played a doubles game. She rolled a die, doubled it, and then covered it with a goldfish cracker. I found this game at Teachers Pay Teachers. I can't find the original file but I found another free game that looks like fun.
J read about hippos this week and as a fun project, I found a cute hippo book that she colored.
It turned out so cute and she will put it into her animal notebook.
The focus animal was zebras. J is reading about zebras and working on her notebook page.
She worked on drawing a horse which she turned into a zebra by adding black and white stripes.
Every day, I have J work on her fluency. Here she is working on Big Bubble Boxes, boxes that have several sight words for her to practice. One more week of school before the holidays. I am trying to keep it strong until the end. It is so easy to get wrapped up in the holidays and just want to "do" that. So, we will have school next week even though it will be around the older siblings(and hubby) home from college and getting ready for Christmas. Wish me luck :)
