An Update

So, we have been homeschooling, just not updating!

Andrew is continuing to practice his reading. He is up to lesson 35 on Click n' kids. He read Just a Little Sick by Mercer Mayer today. This is a beginner reading book I got out of the library. I've been choosing a few different beginner books each time we go to the library so he has a little variety in his reading and I have books that are more at his reading level. He did a great job this morning! Some words in the book that he had trouble with: school, bear, temperature, fever, play, anymore, anyway, tomorrow, being. But I was really surprised with some of the words he already knows. We will keep practicing.

He also has slowly been working on addition. I give him addition sheets and a pile of pennies and he counts them out to find the total. He can now count to 20 with only a little help. Numbers seems to be the hardest thing for him right now.

We practice writing almost every day and he is doing so much better. His writing is much more legible now. He still has trouble forming some letters, but is doing better. The 'w' in his name gives him fits!
