Learning about Fall












We have read numerous short stories. Luke is just beginning to grasp the concept of trying to sound out simple words. We work daily on days of the week and weekly on calendar skills. He continues to work in Word Building & Math workbooks & I work to add depth & different types of activities to supplement/deepen topics covered in the workbooks. He regularly works with math concepts on his own initiative - counting, building, comparing. He loves to draw & loves to create written works on his own initiative. We are taking care plants & his animals at home daily.
