Nice Day here..
Allison -
Reading - Read ALL of Little Red Hen, with very little help, and with a great deal of fluency. And then after reading it, she said she wanted to read it to Meredith, so she read it twice, the second time with no help. I am so thrilled to see her [...]

All we did today was go on a field trip! We toured a local grocery store, discussing nutrition as we went. Allison didn’t learn much about nutrition (just wasn’t into it), but she did learn how to tell a boy lobster from a girl lobster. Very important. I also learned why we have been [...]

Allison:
* Reading, lesson 74, starting to shift from the marks that 100EZ lessons uses. She read a story she has read before, but without the marks. And this time, she got to ask me comprehension questions. She thought that was cool! (35 minutes - had a rough time focusing AGAIN!)
* Language Arts - lesson 4 [...]
