We had Martin Luther King Jr. day. Lily loved learning about him. We also did a cooperative learning assignment. I would cut pieces of construction paper and she would copy me. She had to listen well to the steps and then she made this picture of Martin Luther King Jr. It turned out great!
Then she did some writing about him. We are working at getting her print to be neater. I was very happy with her taking her time on this!
We also went to Juanita Q. Hammons hall to see the play "Strega Nona". It wasn't my favorite. I think it was a little old for Lily, but she still enjoyed it and we had some great worksheets to go with the story. This first one was a comprehension page. We took turns reading and then she answered the questions with no problems at all.
This page was all word problems to go with the story. We haven't done very many word problems so I was very happy with how well Lily listened. Only one of them tricked her a little.
In reading, I had been pushing her more with chapter books that were in the second grade level. The bad thing was that she was getting tired of all the reading and stopped enjoying reading. The main goal in reading is to LOVE reading so we found some first grade chapter books. This first page is easier than the rest of the book, but it is a very easy read and Lily is loving the stories about the kittens. It is called Three to Get Ready by Betty Boegehold and it is only four chapters!
For science, I found a Walt Disney All About Animals book at my parents house. We are learning lots of fun facts about animals and she is loving every minute of it!
Can't leave Valerie out! She is loving school right now. She loves to write. She is working on writing her letters and doing great! She also is very good at circling the words that start with that letter!
