Weekly Update: 10/18 - 10/24

This week was special because we got a big 2' X 3' magnetic dry erase board! I also got the letter tiles from All About Spelling. My intention behind this was to help progress with reading and spelling without so much handwriting involved. The funniest part is that the white board has totally motivated him to write more! When we first put it on the wall, he took a pen and wrote "GOD". Then he added another 'o' in the middle and said "God is good!" What a great moment it was.




Phonics: We finished lessons 71-75 which was based on the letter 'L' and the easy reader, Lill. The spelling started to get tricky this week with the words 'doll' and 'ball'. We spent the week practicing words that end with 'all' that make the sound like 'oll'. We're excited to start the more advanced readers next week!

Math: We decided to skip math this week because the baby was going through some major teething and needing more from me. It's amazing how much he missed doing math, when doing the phonics workbook pages, he would write the numbers next to each one. He seems to like writing numbers more than letters.

Social Studies: We checked out a bunch of books from the library about Thanksgiving that we will be reading from now until the end of November. We're waiting for Cranberry Thanksgiving to arrive with the interlibrary loan so we can FIAR it!
