Bible:  Mark 5

Read Aloud: Farmer Boy ch. 4 "Surprise" and ch.5 "Birthday

Phonics:  OPGTR lesson 36- We started something a little new with this.  We read through two sentences together, a word at a time, the boys taking turns and sharing the sight words.  They really enjoy this method and we go through part of a lesson in about one tenth of the time it takes to read the same two sentences with each boy individually.  They really have a very limited capacity for sitting and sounding out words right now but they're both improving each week.  We might not be moving as quickly as I would like but they're making progress and I am satisfied with that.  Sometimes real life doesn't live up to my expectations but it so often exceeds them that I am learning to be content when things go a little slowly.

Saxon Math 1:  lesson 18, worksheet 18A

Writing:  pannikin, woolen, oxen

Vocabulary: pannikin (a small metal drinking cup), woolen, oxen, plead, sober, subdue, jostle, yoke, bow (a piece of a yoke [for oxen in this case])
