Lesson 54

Remy decided to rejoin us!!!! He had been begging for school...but with all the stuff on my plate I was not up to it. It is so hard to school more than one. It really is. It is scary to think of how it will be with him at 1st and beyond with Eli as well. And then what if we have three kids? Or four? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

The little smartie pants were up to full power today. And they think they had a great practice run before they start back on the path of total world domination....hee hee hee....

Highlights of the day:
Remy was surprising today. Nothing stumped him. He just seemed smarter. I wonder if that long break resulted in him maturing a bit more and if he muddled over what he had learned. We did the letter L today. I held it up he said "L". I asked him what it said and he said it. I am sooo proud! He traced the big and little L's and then I look over and he is pretending to write his name!Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I say...well do you really want to know how to write your name? He says yes. I write it on the board and he does this!

He made this walrus and named him George.

Everything is named George lately...he glued the little tusks on him using toothpicks. He loves to use glue.

We then reviewed counting to 10 with a basket and cookie craft we made. Here he is cutting out the cookies and then putting them in the basket.

This was a lot of fun for us. He loves to use his hands when he learns. I think I will leave it out and revisit his 10 cookie count here and there. :)

Then he colored a traffic light and we talked about it's functions and how it helps us. He is getting good at staying in the lines! It is surprising how much he loves to color as Eli never has cared for it...and we skip all things having to do with coloring...

For fun today he made a dino finger puppet. Which was really fitting considering he just had a dragon party on the 13th. :)

Eli had art today and loved it. He takes forever when he makes something. He wants it to be just perfect. This lesson focused on highlighting and smudging. He made an owl puppet.

He praticed his flutophone while I made dinner. He acts so growny and special. LOL! Today was spelling test day and he only missed 2. When asked what 5 things he is thankful for he named; food, friends, pets, mom, dad. And in that order. LOL! Oh he cracks me up! He is so silly and sweet...what a mixture!

Well, that is all for today...but the two smartest boys in the world shall return...mu-wa-wa-wa!
