I can't believe that we are finished with our second week of school!!! We kind of relaxed a bit, that has helped I think. We are having more fun. I am not pushing the kids to finish every single piece of work that I had planned, we are going by what is best for them. It has been wonderful! I am really loving it. Here are some highlights for the week. The kids finished their All About Me booklets, they are soo cute, I am sticking them in their scrapbooks! They are just to adorable not to! Dylan has been working hard in math on using the more than/ less than symbols, and writing his numbers all the way up to 20. He is doing great! For phonics and reading he has been working hard on learning sequencing and has also been doing simple spelling and writing!! He is on the road to reading! We are looking into getting him a good reading program and he will just soar!!! For science he had his first ever test. He aced it perfectly in like 5 seconds! He was prepared!! He did great. The questions were, where does a plant get its food, what do plants need to grow, name 2 seeds you can eat, name other plant parts you can eat, and what does irrigate mean. then he had to label the parts of a flower and a tree. He did awesome!! smart cookie! This week we are learning about the seasons. We have read the textbook part, and we are reading books from the library about the different seasons. He is really enjoying it. For literature we have been continuing reading poetry, and next week we are going to try our hand at writing a poem! I am excited to see what he comes up with! History and Geography have been fun, he has done well with the continents and this week we have really focused on history, learning about the american flag. He will have a small quiz on monday about the flag, how many stripes, stars, what colors etc, and he will recite the pledge of allegiance. Health has been about eating good foods, being healthy. Marlee has been trucking along in doing her worksheets on colors, shapes, and numbers. She has been working very hard this week on meaningful counting. I think that it is going to take a while, because of her autism, but today she actually stopped counting at 6, when we had 6 bears lined up!! what a huge step!!! School has been good this week, and I am thankful for it! It is friday now! So no more school until monday, then we will work hard and try to not miss any days! LOL, we missed one this week, but still did great! Love, Jaelle |
