McLovin'

So I love Michael's school. This week, they covered the Water cycle, specifically condensation and evaporation. I found this on pinterest (my mental home) and a home schooling mom listed it under 1st grade. Michael's in PK-4.

Unfortunately, Michael was sick this week and missed Monday and Wednesday at school. I know it's just pre-school, but they expose him to so much when he's there. It makes me sad when he misses.

I was really glad to run into the pinterest post above. It's a song about the water cycle sung to She'll be Comin' Round the Mountain. We'll take a peek at this on the blog tomorrow and go over it! Along with going over the workbook pages he missed covering the letter E.

His preschool also attached this binder ring to his school tote. On this binder ring, they add one new sight word flash card a week. He's picking things up little by little on his ring - but I'm not quite sure he has extrapolated those words to real reading yet. Step by step I suppose! He's starting to sound things out, so that's great!

I have a Leapster toy I bought him 2 years ago, hoping it would help him to spell words, that he has not touched for 2 years. Now, he's spelling words (with the toy's guidance) and being very proud of himself for doing so! I'm hoping, praying, guiding, and encouraging to my little guy to help him along with his reading skills.

Math - that comes very natural to him. Imagine that.
