Today we got him his second library card. When he was younger, he had one for the local library where we lived. He would never remember getting it, since he was so small. Now, he is excited to be able to take 4 books from the library every 2 weeks.

He picked out some really good ones to start with. The one we red today was called Read A Picture Colors and Numbers. He did very well, learned some transitional words and such like “a”, “to”, “you”. I also tested his recognition with words he is spelling and color words. I have a Fisher Price Phonics book that does this beautifully.

We got into our first fractions. I am going to devise a board of sorts with fractional pieces, unless I can find one already made for cheap somewhere. We reviewed some of the basics of telling time. He is doing great with that. I am going to end up getting his 1st grade curriculum pretty quickly, since we transition back and forth between the K and 1 levels of work.

Other than the fact that he enjoys whining about pretty much everything except learning a bible verse and coloring, he is doing well.
