Tonight we have our first Vacation Bible School. I am a little worried that he will come looking for me, and I won’t be around. They know he is allergic to milk products, so I am praying that they keep that in the forefront of their minds if they decide to give snacks. The theme [...]
Yes I have been letting him slide on school stuff, but we have been intensive on his reading and reviewing his math facts. I figured, since it is summer and we have so much to do outside that it was pointless to try and keep him inside doing workbooks. I am also giving a few [...]
He is reinforcing his skills today on his Wiggles game for Vsmile. There are a good number of minigames that cover math, reading, following directions, music, and more. I think that will be “school” for today…that and a trip to the library. We are 8 1/2 books into our summer reading splash. He is learning [...]
Today we worked more on Bike safety. We learned the proper way to cross a road, hand signals, and the way to follow safely on the bike. Now the only thing we are missing for his road test is his helmet. Road test, meaning we can leave the apartment complex and cross the street. Yesterday, [...]
Yes, I did. I had him on YouTube this morning looking at different clips of Bugs Bunny classics like “Kill the Wabbit”. He loves classic cartoons and classical music, so I figured why not? Learning has to be fun sometimes or both of our heads would explode. His favorite was my favorite: Presenting What’s Opera [...]
I failed to realize it was only a 5 X 7 card. It’s okay, though. I will go get it blown up at Walmart so I will have a big one and a little one. One for his wall, and one for his baby book. It is really cute. There was a packet with all [...]
It’s Hard to Be Five: Learning How to Work My Control Panel was a good one. My son enjoyed it thoroughly. We read that together yesterday. I have started the Help Me Be Good series with him, especially since he wants to learn about being a good person. A children’s book about being selfish (Help [...]
Easy workbook pages, hard lesson: following directions. The whole point today is for him to follow the directions as given, not to do what has not been asked of him such as, if the paper says color the triangles green, don’t color the rectangles blue. Well, at least not until after I have seen that [...]
Well, sort of. I got a few books from the dollar store today. We are going into 1st grade pretty strong, I think: Since we are still working on reading & writing (dyslexia!!!) I got him a beginner’s type of book for that. We have to reinforce and move on. Other than that, he is [...]
