Wow four weeks down! A whole month! So many things have been learned already. George is doing amazing. George has learned what all the letters of the alphabet make, which for us is a big step. Prior to this year reading consisted of recognizing sight words and trying to sound out words now he's sounding out so many words and is getting better and better at sounding them out without doing each letter individually. Hearing George read is so nice. Today we went out to the library and got a lot of simple reading books and he was over the moon happy about it. This week we also started our study of the sun. We discussed how the planets orbit the around the sun and how we should never look directly over the sun. Also today we did an experiment with it which you will get to see! Monday we ended up with the day off but made up the work on Tuesday. So Here is on to some pics of the week!
Fall has arrived!!!! With the helped of Daddy we changed the border in the classroom. George noticed right away and was happy to see it.
Up close shot.
In spelling we had a bingo game. I would give him the sound of the letter he would then find it and mark it with a resee chip. When the game was over we got to eat them :) Our spelling and reading has a lot of re-enforcement on the basic sounds to be sure they understand it. In reading we are still reading 3 letter words and just now getting into small sentence's which is great! I love seeing George do good at the basics before we work into more advanced stuff.
And like usual look who visited us!!
George wanted to have his pictured taken laying down sun bathing with buddy!
I got George a sun catcher that you make with scratch paper. He had a lot of fun doing this.
After it was all done! He did an amazing job! Although time consuming which he wasn't happy about it paid off. I love having this hanging up!
Now isn't that cute! He now wants to make more of them!
Going along with our sun lesson in science we talked about how the sun is bad for your eyes and how the eyes act as a magnifying glass and can burn your corneas. Also your corneas have no feelings (that was new to me!) So we took some cold chocolate outside and a magnifying glass and with the help of daddy we melted chocolate. George found this fun!
Helping George get it just right.
He's got it going.
Ok we have a lot of fun with this. I didn't get a picture but we also burnt leaves hahaha.
Working on his Draw Write Now book.
Only Lilly would lay like this!!!!
End of the week!!!!! Ticket count comes to............ 22!!!!!!!!!!!! and he....... SAVED so he got a bonus so its now 23!!!!!!!!!!!
We had a really good week and I am very proud of how good George is doing. He is amazing me everyday at how excited he is to start the day. The only thing he has a hard time with is the writing. During our science while I read he played in his kneitic sand and when we had to retell facts about it he had tons to tell. So it clearly helped keep his concentration. He's learned lots with the science. he remembers that the moon is a satellite from last week and knows that we orbit the sun. George is learning more and more each week! He's reading many words and reading faster! Hope you enjoyed reading about this week! See yall next week!!
