This week we switched up or schedule.  We started bringing math and reading to the G's house (with handwriting to be added this next week) and we're doing HSS (and Bible this next week, hopefully) in the afternoons at home.   It went REALLY well. 

We got through 4 lessons in OPGTR, working on double consonant endings (tt, ff, etc) and 'ck' endings as well as 'lk', 'lp', 'st', and 'nt' consonant blends.  Although much of this Bug already knew because you can sound out the sounds seperately, I think learning them as one sound (especially 'lk' and 'lp') helped a lot.

We also did 3 pages of Math Mammoth Money.  It was more review on counting money using pennies, nickels and dimes.  Also working on figuring out how to make a specified amount using the same coins and some addition of money.  Bug is very excited about learning how to count money with quarters, starting next week.

We also read Armadillo Rodeo this week and will be continuing next week.  Bug continued to ask for it to be read over and over again.  He LOVED it.  We did boot colorings and descriptive language on Monday and continued into Tuesday.  (Tuesday was a free day for him in the afternoon).   Wednesday and Thursday we learned about the state of Texas, reading L is for Lonestar.  In this book, we learned that chili con carne, Dr. Pepper, and Fritos all come from Texas.  So what did we have for dinner Friday night? You guessed it:

Bug didn't really like the Dr. Pepper, but he loves chili, and the Fritos were a big hit.

An additional highlight of the week was the fort we built last weekend that stayed up half the week.  He did all his playing at home in it, and even slept in it 3 or 4 nights.  We finally had to take it down when we wanted our dining room table back!



Most of Friday was taken up by errands and cooking for the bake-off at church today.  Bug decided on sugar cookies with frosting.  The entire thing was up to him to do, with me simply telling him how much to put in.  He did a great job.  Unfortuantely, he only wanted to decorate a few, so only 5 actually got brought to church with us.  But they turned out delicous!

(I have no pictures of the finished product -- silly me!)

That was our week.  It felt productive and fun! I hope next week can be the same!
