Monday 27th

Damian was a grouchy boy today. He was mean and nasty to all of us today. Don’t know what his issue is. He did his Rightstart math and did great. He took forever writing his spelling words and through a fit writing 2 definitions for science. We finished week 1 of Noeo today so hopefully we will do week 2 the rest of this week. He did his language arts in his First Language Lessons and is doing well understanding nouns and proper nouns. As far as history with the American Story 1 this is a catch up week from what did not get done last week. Today we finished The Discovery of the Americas and we have a few chapters in The Birchbark House to catch up on as well as building an Indian backrest. He as well hates handwriting and with the mood today it was worse. We are still using the Pathway readers he seems to like them well enough.
Skyler of course was a happy chip today. We started her Alphabet Bob Books. She is usually thrilled to do school. We finished her letter 5 in her My Fathers World The Fifth day. Hung that on the wall. We did handwriting without tears preschool and used the wood pieces with her Language Lessons For The Very Young copywork letter A. She had fun. She made a witch friend for her lapbook, and did quite a few of her Halloween worksheets today. She does so great with patterning. She had a bit of confusion on the worksheet about what is different? She’ll get it though. She had a blast at Kindermusik.
Fox well he was OK so far today. We have done math and he did very well. He hates handwriting, that will probally never change. I don’t understand why he does so very well in school at the learning center but with me he fights it. He cannot once having phonics and reading without an argument. I also just noticed that Hoosier Academy has no spelling program. Should I have concern or just add my own? He also read a Bob Book and fought me every step of the way. I love the child who drives me nuts.
Devlin of course did all her school totally on her own. That is usually a given with her. Yet keeping her room picked up is not always a given.
