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 excited about reading! We may not go back to 100 EZ lessons for a while
Language Arts - Lesson 9 in FLL, introduced picture study/narration, while reinforcing proper nouns.

Math - introduced the hundreds, reviewed the months (she pretty much has them down), talked about quadralatarals and rectangles…mentioned that a square is a square, a qudralatarel and a rectangle.

Literature - read a RL Stevenson poem. We are going to try to read a poem each morning

Music - practiced piano, listened to classical music during the other lessons (hmm, is that the reason we had such a good day?)

All of this was done in almost exactly one hour. Didn’t keep track of the individual subjects today. Oh, and that hour included probably 10 minutes of me being on the phone, and 10 minutes of us putting together math manipulatives…must prepare better for math, lol. I did up a CM type of schedule, but don’t know if I will implement it. Even if I don’t it is my hopes to add in some history and more literature gradually. We are going to add in nature study once a week this week as well…and some art study either next week or the following week. I want to get some prints that are big enough to really study. Thinking about getting an art calendar for that. But since we haven’t been doing 100EZ lessons, the whole thing has been going much smoother
