Week 1, Day 4

Catchy titles I'm coming up with, eh?  It just makes it easier for me to keep track of where we are in our school year, I guess.

We've been pretty busy this morning.  I printed off word searches for all the kids w/ the "appropriate" grade level word lists.  When I printed TS's page, her word list didn't save, so she got the same list as TC.  We went thru her list of words so she'd know what they were.

The T's also have time sheets w/ analog clocks.  That was one of the things TC told me she wanted to do, so... they have sheets where they have to put the hands on the clock.  They also have mazes & some handwriting papers.

I printed out fractional values for K & C (different levels though).  He knows how to do it, just needs to do the computation.  I had to show C how to figure it out.  She told me the other day she doesn't like fractions much... maybe this will help her understand it better.

I also printed out something called Number Blocks from Discovery's PuzzleMaker.  However, I neglected to print out an answer sheet.  K was working it in pen & BOTH of us were sooooo confused!  I printed a different one WITH the answer sheet, & while he worked on it, I worked on the other one.  We decided it's all just a matter of where you start how hard or easy it is.

Everyone is hanging out in my bedroom working away.  I haven't even made it downstairs yet this morning.  I'm thinking I need to go eat pretty soon.

I don't think the TV has been on at all today.  K was playing the keyboard earlier, & the T's were playing in their room.  They've also been making magazines again today. 

The TV finally came on & the T's watched Tru Jackson, VP & I'm not sure what else.  K worked on his Roblox worlds again.  I had to go out & run an errand, so I'm not sure what all went on in that time frame. 

Since I've been home, though, the T's & I have gone over telling time.  TS got it really easily, although she did forget the "between the numbers" thing for X:30 or later.  TC kept telling me she couldn't remember, but she was doing fine.

I've set things up so that when they actually FINISH a sheet or something, I have a binder w/ separating tabs for each one of them & I'm keeping all their paperwork together.  Things seem to be going very well & everyone is enjoying what we're doing so far.  Almost 1 full week down; 35 more to go.  =/
