Continue to add new consonants.  Learned "V", "W", and "Y" this week.  Getting exposure to sight words (the, a).  Talked about "seat work" and how she will start working independently a little now.  Started horse lapbook.  Reading "Sophie's Tom"--about a little independent girl who wants to run her own farm someday and it's giving my little independent sprite some ideas!  We watched a Tom Sawyer movie last week and she was quite intrigued by his mischief and adventure, and pointed out that she and he were a lot alike!  I had to agree.  I am glad we don't live on the Mississippi.  We shall have to read some Mark Twain soon.  We're still waiting for our tadpole delivery.  Hope they make it (for her sake, not mine).  This week seemed to speed by.  I am trying to plan ahead again.  I feel we have a routine now, and I am enjoying our time each morning.  I want to plan some craft/art time for the next few weeks.  We have been mostly focusing on Grammar and Math.  I think she needs a little lighter content added to the mix.  She is a sport.  It must be hard to have Mommy after you about EVERYTHING all day, every day.  I love her so much...
