What Went Well
  • We stayed mostly on track with our plan for the week, and managed to get a little ahead in History. 
  • Audrey is starting to tell stories with number bonds and seems to really understand. 
  • Audrey read aloud every night and is reading very well. We realized that if she looks at the pictures before starting to read to us, and then just focuses on the words she actually reads fairly quickly and does not need as much help with words. It turns out she was just distracted by the art. 
  • Norse Myths came in the mail!
Areas for Improvement
  • Didn't finish grammar lesson 64 or do any other grammar in the week.
Action Items
  • Need to record Audrey doing the poem
  • Need to get April the blank cards and a pencil for swim lessons
  • Set up Spanish computer.
  • Order the extra practice from Singapore Math
  • Check if we can download "The Railway Children" by E. Nesbitt
