Abigail playing IN her Lego bin and stacking!Shelby-6 years
Shelby read one book each day on her own but I did not keep track of all the titles. I will see if I can locate them all and mark them sometime this weekend. We are in need for a trip to the library, so she used books that were on hand. She also took turns reading with me out of our History reading.
We also did a reading test to see what level she is on. Her reading level measured at 2ND grade. She is really picking it up fast now that we have started using Spell to Write and Read. The rules really make sense to her.
Math-
Singapore Unit 21Additon and number bonds
Dot to Dot- up to 100 did 2x this week
Right Start lesson 17 and lesson 23 (to go over the number bonds)
Addition facts drill on the computer 2 minutes 3x this week
Games
Just a note on her math- She is really struggling for some reason with recognizing numbers by looking, the concept of adding and number bonds. I am going to stick with Right start but am going to look at Horizons for a more gentle and slower approach until she catches on.

Define and understand classification and classes
Understand living and non living things and learn the properties of both.
