Week 16 - An amazing week and my daughters last school week of being 4 years old.

This is the last school week that my daughter will be 4 years old. Monday my little girl will be turning 5.

Jenna finished Ordinary Parents Guide To Teaching Reading this week. I am so proud of my little girl. She was very excited and proud of herself, as well. We had a pizza hut pizza and breadsticks celebration in honor of her achievement. She also received an award and some balloons. She is reading her Arthur chapter books and couldn't be happier.




Math - Horizon book 2 - We are now on lesson 124, reviewing telling time to quarter after the hour, some subtraction using the number line(some she uses the number line and others she gets without using it), some money review(we do our own money review too, the only thing she needs to work on is adding quarters and dimes together), and working with place value. She also has been working on her addition facts, 2's and 3's (2's are almost mastered) and 1's and 2's subtraction.



Reading - OPGTR is now done. She has filled that spot with reading her chapters books aloud to me during school. She is also doing some phonic worksheets from a school zone phonics grade 1-3. And we pulled out Explode the Code book 2 (she didn't like doing this at the beginning of the year), but now she likes it. I think this will be a good phonics review for her. I plan on using all the workbooks, as long as she continues to like them. And of course we have our night time reading. At the end of each month she gets an ice cream treat for reading the entire month.



Writing - Handwriting without tears - We continue to do this four times a week. And now that we are using explode the code, we get some extra writing practice. She looks forward to cursive, but I am trying to hold her off until first grade.



She was still sick this week with a cold, so we just stuuck to the basics. Starting next week we will be talking about Thanksgiving and hopefully get some fun crafting done.
