Reading Class

Andrew started his reading class at the homeschool building yesterday. He learned the sound 'a' (which he already knows, but hopefully this is good reinforcment). We are going to go once a week for 14 weeks. I hope the class speeds up a little, or he might get a little bored. But the teacher does lots of hands-on things to reinforce the sound so he really enjoyed it. There are only 4 little boys in the class, along with their moms and a couple little sisters. The teacher gave them each a little bag to carry their stuff in each week and he is really excited about that, plus he liked having one-on-one time with mommy. :-)

Kindergarten, Day 4

Today we did Lesson 3 in our Saxon Math book. Andrew practiced writing 1, 4, and 5, as well as counting. We continued our weather graph and 100s chart.
We also read lessons 10 and 11 in our McGuffey reader. Tomorrow we hope to practice some writing.
We are learning Psalter 7, all three verses.

Kindergarten, Day 3

Math
Every day in math we start with the same things: Check the weather and fill in a square on our weather graph, Find the date on the calendar and write it down on a slip of paper, fill in the next shape on our calendar pattern, and count to 30 on our 100s chart. Today Andrew also did his first Saxon math sheet. He built towers with his linking cubes and colored towers in on his sheet. He loved it!

Reading
We read Lesson 8 and 9 in our McGuffey Pictoral Eclectic Primer. In two weeks he starts a reading class at the Home School Building.

Bible
We talked about Cain and Abel. I am skimming through the first stories of the Bible since he is very familiar with them.

I hope to do some school on Monday (Labor Day) and then we are taking the week off while we go camping. Picking it up full force the next week! Oh, and we take Fridays off to do special trips or let mommy run some errands.
