Weekly Update: 10/11 - 10/17

It's a good thing that birthdays only happen once a year, because taking a week off from school has taken a toll. Just by not practicing our reading and math concepts, he's forgotten stuff that was easy and has lost some attention span for school. Thankfully, we're back to normal by the end of the week, now.

Phonics: We did lessons 61-70. We completely skipped the 'short o' reader, Hot Dog. I know that he could have easily read it. He even refused to fill in the workbook activities about hot dogs, lol. We've got one more easy reader left and then we get into the more advanced readers, which I'm excited about. Thankfully, there's no more stories about meat eating.

Math: We did lessons 41-45. The equals sign was introduced and added to the greater than less than concept. Writing, counting, and recognizing numbers 1-30 were practiced, which was needed after a week off from math.

FIAR: We did more activities for How To Make An Apple Pie And See The World with apples and world geography. We colored in the flags of the places in the story, labeled the parts of an apple, colored in the seasons of an apple tree, and some apple mazes for fun.
