Reading Reba

This week was the second week for Reba to bring home her "Book in a Bag" homework.  The bag contains beginning reader level books for the kiddos to practice their reading at home.  Last week, the book was super simple for her (The only words were: The mouse can.  The monkey can. {Repeat}).  This week was a bit more of a challenge, but still pretty easy for her.  Make sure your volume is turned up high, because she reads pretty softly.

Until next time...

Sky Writing

Remember me telling about Dallas' spelling menu activities he has to complete each week?  This week, one of the choices was called Sky Writing.  We put shaving cream on the table, and he was on "Cloud 9" playing writing his spelling words.

I will admit, I am quite jealous at how natural of a speller Dallas is.  Spelling was never (and still isn't) a strong subject for me.  Each week, the teacher gives a pre-test to determine what words they receive for the next week.  She uses three different levels (lists) that she assigns based on each student's pretest score, and I'm proud to report that Dallas has been on the most challenging list each week!  I hope that he always continues to excel with his spelling - instead of relying on auto correct like his Momma.

Until next time...

Day 2 of School

Dallas didn't have homework the first day of school, but he did have homework tonight...

He had to practice writing his name in cursive!

I'm very proud to report that he is mastering it quite quickly.

Until next time...
