Week 15 ( 74 days, so far)

We stuck to just the basics this week. My little girl was not feeling good for most of the week. By thursday she had the flu and was out of commision for the whole day. She missed her first day of school.

This is what she did this week

Math- Horizon k book 2 - lesson 120 - she only has 40 lessons left in the book. She does very well with this math program. It looks like she will be doing the first grade horizons sometime this school year. She also did her addition math facts 1's and 2's. And her subtration math facts 1's. Money review for our coins, she still gets messed up sometimes when finding the total amount when quarters and other coins are added.

Reading - Ordinary parents guide to teaching reading - She is doing great, She has 15 lessons to go. She is excited to be almost done with her phonic lessons. She reached one of her goals this week, she was able to read her first Arthur chapter book. We took turns reading it. I am so amazed and proud of my little girl. When we are done with our phonic lessons, we are going to review using some phonic worksheets and some white board word fun that she is making up for us to use as review.

Writing- She only did a couple of handwriting without tears pages this week.

Spelling- We played our spelling ball game(if you miss catching the ball, then you have to spell a word). I had her spelling words with the silent e. She spelled them all right. She learned her first spelling rule. That all words have at least one vowel. I am going to have her write spelling rules in a spelling notebook, once I get her one that is.

Other than I just read her some of her favorite books and snuggled with her on the couch. She now seems to be getting a cold. So I am not sure what this coming week will include besides the basics.
