Week 8 Report

We are in the middle of week 9 right now but I haven't posted our week 8 report and I'm trying to keep up to date on our reports.

For week 8 we finished up Turkey Lips' castle

Honey told Turkey Lips that he would definitely get an "A" on this project and Turkey Lips just looked at him not understanding what he meant. :) So far I don't grade anything that they know about. I do put in grades for math tests and spelling tests but they never see the grades. However I do think he did A+ work on this one.

I don't have any other pictures for week 8 but we moved along in Math and Turkey Lips is doing well. I do have to have him go back and rework some problems only because they are very messy and he is unable to read what he has written.

Turkey Lips enjoyed our literature book for the week, The Minstrel in the Tower. We read it through and he did the TOG worksheet and then asked if I would read it again. Then he read a few chapters on his own.

SWR is slow goin :( I need to work in more ways of practicing the words. Turkey Lips gets frustrated and says "I know how to spell the words and then I get to the test and I don't know how". He seems to be right because alot the time when we review the words orally he gets them right.

We have fallen behind in our individual work so I need to keep on top of that.

So far I have learned that I need to just focus on that day and take little "bites" at a time and then by the end of the week we have "eaten the elephant" :)

Well this is a short report but in a couple of days I will be reporting on this week :)
