Oct. 31, 2007 - Biggun and school work
Biggun is moving right along w/ his schooling. Each day of homeschooling is another adventure. Math has been hard for him lately. This is not normal for us. He is usually the math wize. It is taking him a little longer to catch on to the concept of borrowing past the tens in subtraction. Like

We are happy to know that they have resource sheets to help us do extra work. We have been doing all of them that are in the subtraction section. He took the test today and got 80%. I will be adding some more worksheets, because I am not happy that he has this down pat yet.
Language Arts has been really fun for Biggun lately. We moved on to 1st grade Language Extention. I went through and made a list of the sounds that he needs to work on. See the way the LA Ext. are set up is by suject like Oceans, Native Americans, Weather and so on. Each subject has 2 sets of lessons. One is on a story written about oceans and the second one is based around a certain sound such as ay, or er. We can't do all of these LA Ext. we need to move on the 2nd grade LA, but I did go through and find the sounds that Biggun needs to do some work on.
Biggun is really enjoying the LA Ext. We only have 1 more set before he moves back to the 2nd Grade LA.
