It was a new day of school today. We had two parties to go to today...but I just needed to stay home. And boy did it feel good. :) There wasn't anything to do really so we decided to do a day of school.
Highlights of the day:
Remy is getting VERY close to finishing 3 year old preschool. I just pray that we will have the money to purchase either his k4 or k5 curriculum when the time comes. I still haven't decided which grade to do with him. He is showing me lots of growth in his learning and in what he wants to accomplish in his learning. I have a few weeks left to decide. :) Pray for me!
Today he made this wriggly fish.
When you hold it's tail and rub the paper together it looks like it is swimming! Very cute if I do say so myself!
Then he learned about how the shepard's took care of the sheep. :)
He loves to glue cotton balls on something. LOL! He cracks me up. And his coloring has greatly improved since last January. I can't believe he has been in "school" for a year now! I am not ready to let him continue into the next grade. :(
He learned about octogon's. He counted the sides like a pro. There are 8 sides if you did not know. We reviewed the letter K and L today. I know he will be reading this new year of school. It is strange to think of. I never knew to give Eli the tools he needed to learn to read. I didn't come from a family that loved to learn or who strived to learn. I just thought oh, we will do it when we HAVE to. But after teaching Eli, Remy wanted to learn. And so when he asked for those schoolbooks for his bday last year we happily gave them to him. And he is learning by leaps and bounds! It is surprising to me!
Remy and I also played letter Bingo. It is a sesame street game and he covers the letters with little cookies when they are called out. He loves it! And begs for more...just one more time. :)
Eli practiced his music today (flutophone) and my he sounded good! :)
During math today we learned about Cananda...just a little. But he loved that.
He drew this in art today.
This kid loves to draw. And boy does he do a good job!
He finished up the story of Pandora's Box and started on another one. He also read how the pilgrims got ready for the voyage. He was amazed. :)
The new spelling list was introduced. He knows them all but 2 words so we will just review them a few times before the test. Matthew has taken to going over his spelling words with him in the evening. It is really good for Eli and Mattmos. And it gives me a break!
We were going to make birthday cakes for the dogs. But...I am an egg short. So, tomorrow or Monday that will happen. I will be sure to share pictures.
We hope everyone has a blessed Sunday! :)
