I had serious Spring Fever, plus we had some illnesses (bad sniffles and coughs) these last couple of weeks.  But I had really loose goals for the month anyway.  I think we did pretty good.  I spent a little time looking at some letter of the week pages S4 did for an alphabet book we started in the fall and finished putting together today.  They included coloring, cutting, pasting, and writing the letters.  Even though it didn't really seem like he was making a lot of progress as we went along, this look-back has really proven me (happily) wrong.  Anyway, here is my record chart for April:
