I have had an excellent week. Monkeyman and I have been working on the five senses and being mindful of the teaching moments we can use to incorporate lessons about each one. We have been doing our reading every day although I have switched my focus from Teach your Child to Read in 100 Easy lessons to using regular books- he finds it a lot more fun. I may return to the text if I find his fluency is lagging but he seems to really enjoy reading other stuff and hey he's four, reading is reading.

We have been having fun with our cuisenaire rods and pattern blocks too. I also have him do three addition or subtraction problems every day. We use legos but I should probably switch to using the cuisenaire rods.
It is about bedtime, I need to get going,
Happy Blogging

I have not tried the cuisenaire rods yet, but I plan to. Glad to hear you like them.

Blessings,

Hey, I am a new blogger, and a friend of Hannah's. I thought that I would check out your blog. My mom used "Teach your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons", to teach me how to read, and it rang a bell when you said that you were using it.
Well, talk to you later, Rachael

You are doing great with your little guy. We used 100 Easy Lessons with our oldest and plan to start soon with our little man. It is great when they are able to read books without having to finish all the lessons. Good job!

God bless,
Tammy
