Week in review and a little something extra

Another week has come and gone and all in all, I must say that it was a fantastic one.

We did our first official row to Good Night Moon and J loved it so much that she said, "Good night heater." Even Baby C joined in a few times for the reading. For our rowing activities I used printables from two different sites (www.homeschoolshare.com and http://homeschoolcreations.com).
 
We did hand-painting for her mittens, put together a clock, coloured pictures balloons and learnt the nursery rhyme Hey Diddle Diddle. J even did an interpretive drawing and allowed me to label the items that she drew so that I could understand her art.

We placed all her crafts along with her story summary in her Reading Binder, along with a picture of the book we completed. Our next row will be to The Runaway Bunny.

Math this week was a whirlwind as J was doing 2 lessons per session of Math U See Primer and I had to be the one to stop her. Its a good thing we only J-school 4 days a week She now calls her Math sessions, "doing Mr Demme" ( from the mouths of babes).

Language we continued with Foundations A and we resumed Ordinary Parents Guide to Teaching Reading (OPGTR) for some extra practice at CVC words.

Now for the extra:

After much frustration with trying to find the perfect planner and not willing to pay the price for the planner that I had liked the most, I decided to create my own. I posted it to my Facebook group and people were begging to pay for it. I was shocked but obliged by charging $2.50 via Paypal.

And here is a sample of my planner that I created in Excel. It is 100% editable and can be adjusted for multiple students and its cheap. Simply click here to get your copy.
