Math for Faith Abby Gil. Trixie has been drawing a lot in the past months and her hand strength and ability to hold a pencil correctly has come very far. Yesterday she tried a few penmanship exercises and said her hand was tired after a few lines. A definite step forward from last year, when she couldn't make two letters and could barely draw a happy face. The Draw Write Now! books have helped so much. She is still clenching on the pencil but that will improve with time. All of that is my long way of saying she didn't do any formal work today but is making great strides overall.
Gilbert also did his reading workbook with aplomb today, no complaints, anxiety or tears, and got all the answers correct.
Bede has been reading a lot today, comics and picture books. Gloria is drawing and writing and really getting the connection between the way words sound and the way they are spelled.
Abby and Faith are working with integers in their math and I think we may take some time to explore beyond the algorithm and see why it works. Abby is particularly interested. Khan Academy probably has a good video or two.
