Life has been major crazy the past several months, so we have not been very consistent with any kind of schedule, including our lessons. However, I have been trying to power through and am very proud of my child's accomplishments. He is doing much better with math now, and is actually starting to read! His math lessons have evolved - the other day we did subtraction using the game Hi-Ho Cherry-O, today we did addition with building blocks (I just jumped in with a worksheet down on the floor while he was playing). For reading, I finally found the perfect starter books - the PowerPhonics series published by PowerKids Press with Rosen Publishing. He reads one each night at bedtime. We probably need to pick up some slack on spelling, so I am going to try using crossword puzzles. Handwriting is our other main lesson, and he is doing fine with that. We did switch back from freehand to tracing, he was getting a little too free. This is rounding out the completion of our first full year and I am trying to decide how to record what he has learned, and how to recognize his accomplishments.
