J-School...because we are awesome like that!

Today we had another successful session of what I will now call J-school. We stacked blocks as she read the words written on the whiteboard, we worked on our fine motor skills by using her childproof scissors and we read Brown Bear, Brown Bear - our book of the week.

I chose to redo Lessons 21-25 with Jay just to ensure that she actually was understanding what was required of her and to do more of the games from Foundations A.

Here is a quick recap of what J-school looked like today.

- We pray prior to starting and our prayer is as follows, " Dear Lord bless this tot school and help Jay  to learn. Please also give Mommy the patience while Jay learns. "
- Next, we sing our national anthem. I will admit that sometimes I forget and J has to remind me by saying, "Mommy, O Canada?"

 - Language Arts was the first subject. I wrote a word on the white board and if she read it correctly, she would get a block to stack. She ended up with 8 blocks ( 8 words correct out of 9. The ninth one was a challenge word 'quit' and she almost got it as she simply read it as qu-it but there is no such thing as a half of a block)

- We then moved on to Math. We did our counting bear mats and she kept asking for more so we did 2 mats instead of one today.

- Next came fine motor skills using Let's Cut Paper by Kumon.

- Then we did a pattern block mat of a dog

- Lastly she did animal matching with 9 pairs of cards. The animals were the ones mentioned in the book of the week.

All in all a successful session of J-school and we finished a few minutes prior to Baby C waking up.
