Day 15

After a great time in James this morning, Paul and I did math while Michael slept in until 9 a.m. I find it works to have that one-on-one time when it comes to math. Paul is more independent, in many ways, than Michael is when is comes to math. I like having that time with just Michael in the afternoon for math. I think I will just continue to do that as much as possible.

Paul continued to numbers in expanded and written form. He completed his Chapter Review for Place Value. Writing out those long numbers are hard for him as they were also hard for Michael at that age.

About Paul, he is a great, self-motivated learner. He is so much more motivated in the morning. I think Michael is tired from aquarium and trampoline yesterday. He finally got to work at about 9:40 a.m. He is on Day 15 in his math. So, he is right on target for the year.

Michael is up and writing a "Flat Freddy" letter to the Krauses. Uncle Andy lived right next door to the house that Sterling North lived in when he had Rascal. How cool is that??????

Paul got a 93% on his Spelling (Lesson 28 - Number words since he was having to spell expanded number words for math).

Paul just set a reading goal of twenty books a month. We will start the Pizza Hut Book It reading on October 1st and go it for six months.

We did usual grammar and Paul copied a passage from Rascal while Michael did spelling.

We did out couch time after all this. We did Bible, Indian Prayer, Study of John, ITA, and Science (Nuclear Reactors) during this time. We also watch another Colonial Times for Kids about Jamestown today. I am so impressed with these 23 minute productions.

Michael and I will do math alone after lunch.

I need to clean and bake for my book club breakfast tomorrow!
