General Summary for YEar 7
- Kieron continues to spend 1-2 hours a day making cartoons -- a long-abiding interest of his now. He is definitely getting more sophisticated in humor and turn of phrase, and his spelling and construction is better too. So I am sort of counting that as writing.
- We still aren't really working at full cylinder but next week will probably start -- no holidays, nothing much going on.
Kieron's copywork. Can you tell which is mine, ie the model? LOL. We have dysgraphia on both sides of the family. This is a nice baseline. Year 1
- Aidan did a couple of super -short reading and math lessons.
- Paddy and I invented a reading game. One thing was that I put action words on little pieces of paper and then we followed them by reading them, and had a sword battle.
- He also wrote his blog and had me write down the scores of a Pokemon battle.
- Both of them worked a little in their handwriting books.
- Both played Starfall a couple of times.
- I read Paddy lots of books. We usually have 2-3 story sessions a day, and usually I try to work his phonics lesson into the reading, though in stealth mode.
Notes
- Aidan is DEFINITELY getting better at sounding out words, IF he will only sit still. He seems to think we are playing Fugitive Guy when it is time for a reading lesson. If he were Paddy's age I'd drop it like a rock and maybe I still should, but he's nine, even if functioning as a five year old, and I feel I should be doing things with him. But "should" is one of those loaded words that seem to lead to frustration.
- Paddy is actually reading at a pre-primer level.
Aidan "working" on Daddy's old computer.
