math...wow!

Andrew surprised me tonight. I gave him a bunch of pennies with a math worksheet consisting of single digit addition. He was able to do most of it with very little prompting from me. I do believe this kid might be better at math than I.
I started yesterday by showing him how to take the top number and take that many pennies out. Then add to this stack of pennies the lower number.

First math worksheet

Here is Andrew's first math worksheet.

1.20.10

Andrew read another book today: Fishing. This one was a bit more difficult, but I thought he did really well. We also finished our phonics workbook. I have another one that is a bit more advanced, but he also gets phonics on Click N Kids. We are still practicing writing numbers and letters. His writing is getting much clearer.

See Andrew go!

In My Hat

Andrew just read this book from Hubbard's Cupboard. He did fairly well the 2nd time around. His most difficult word was 'sat.' He kept saying 'sit.' He also had trouble with 'scat.' But definitely an awesome job for reading his first book! Now he is going to color the pictures. I think if we do some extra work with word families, it will help when he does Click n kids.

1.5.10

Today Andrew drew the letter S and also learned about circles and squares. He is very interested in dinosaurs right now so we got a few books out of the library and he is starting to recognize different kinds of dinosaurs and identify them by name. Yesterday he told his cousin that he wanted to be a dr. who helped sick babies when he grows up. :-)

Moving along...

Andrew is now five. He is a whiz at click-n-kids. Has no problem with the words. I think he might be learning alot of the words by sight, tho. Will have to watch that.
