Monthly Archives: August 2010 We’ve been working for several months on Evan Moor’s Beginning Geography, Grades K-2and we like it quite a bit. It’s a great book for beginning map skills. It teaches all about the compass and directions and the parts of a map and lately we’ve started to learn about landforms. Recently I found a book called...  We made an updated video of his reading progress. I think it’s coming along nicely. He’s reading from the book The Ordinary Parent’s Guide to Teaching Reading. This is from lesson 61. Griffin said something really sweet to me yesterday. We were working on his list of things that he can do with his hands for a piano camp assignment. We talked about all of the things he can do, all of the things he has done, and then we went over the expectations for the day...  Griffin had a very full day today with piano camp in the morning and soccer awards pizza night for dinner. He was so excited and couldn’t wait to get there. He did ok for the most part but I did have to tell him about 5 times to get off the floor. He kept crawling... Griffin has piano camp this week. There are two days of recitals (Wednesday and Thursday). Here is the song he will be playing. He needs a little more practice before he’s ready! I love the little faces he makes when he’s playing and his little alfalfa hair. Don’t mind our walls. We are in the...  Last week we started learning to write in cursive. I wish we had learned cursive first before printing, but what’s done is done. His printing is not very good. He has problems keeping the letters within the lines and problems with spacing, etc. I’m surprised at how well he is doing with cursive. Although he...  On Friday, OMSI had a free day and we woke up early to take advantage of it. I thought it would be packed, but because we were there early, we had free run of the place for a couple of hours before the crowds showed up! They had a lot of great science experiments and...  Last week, we had a great time at Wildwood Park. We met up with Aunt Len and all of the cousins on her side of the family. Griffin spent a lot of time throwing rocks into the stream and trying to hang out with the big boy cousins. They had a really neat feature with...  Last night was the last game for the summer soccer league. I’m SO glad that we participated. It was our first attempt at organized sports and we were very nervous about how it would go! After some encouragement from various family members, we decided to go for it and we are so glad we did....  Today we did our spelling practice at the computer. He’s a natural with typing. He keeps his fingers in the right place most of the time. The only thing that I catch him doing is using the wrong finger for shift when making capital letters. He will struggle to use the same pinkie as the... |
