the Homeschool was given much and accomplished much, today!
Warrior began his lessons early with the magnet board.
He is reading so well! Teacher loves watching him surprise himself!
He has been choosing the middle sound, the vowel, and Teacher will add the beginning and the end sound...like his first word read today...GAS! His short vowel memorization has been successful with the song that Student taught him.
He burst into excitement and thought to bring Astro Boy into the lesson and wanted to spell the name of their fighting robot: Zog. And he did just that!
Warrior is focusing on sorting and counting groups, however, he's NOT satisfied with theses exercises because he notices Student adding, and so shall he!
Student has been having her Reading journal time as a self-lead lesson. Her sentence structure has suffered, and so Teacher spent some review time on Grammar.
Complete sentences with correct beginning, middle and ending.
Subject/Predicate, capitalization, and punctuation...and oh how she was soaking it all back into that thorough brain. But when it was time for her to write her four complete sentences, she asked Teacher to stay beside her! Oh, the love of a Student for their Teacher...fulfilling when God knows the cup of Teacher is running dry!
Mr. Bouncer invited Mr. Tod over. Mr. Tod stole the baby rabbits! Peter found the rabbits! Now they are safe.
And also in her writing today, Student combined her most-missed Spelling words into a short and funny blurb.
A hungry man ate a ugly puppy for lunch on a sunny day. He struck the other pup.
And in the news, Current Events, Student opened the latest snail mail update from Samaritan's Purse about their March 2nd 2011 marathon in Georgia. Teacher is tempted and MUST talk to Principal! Their Turn the Tap ministries is bringing clean water allover the continent of Africa.
Science brought Student to the design of the beaver. His work, his purpose, group working skills and tender heart taught Student this:
Work hard and faithfully.
Take good care of things you have.
Work together with neighbors.
Help those around you in times of trouble and danger.
Help those less fortunate.
SHe even compared webbed feet to non...
Whatever else Student completed, it involved Reading. This love of hers is growing, as we thank God and pray it rubs off on Warrior and Mascot!
