Yes, I need to figure out how to title these. The date is already there . . . need to think on this.

ANYWAY, today the boys:

Drew in their nature journals, while I wrote their entries. Both boys drew a barrel cactus in our backyard. Nate drew the roots going down into the earth as well. Colin drew a cloud in the sky that looked like a castle. Colin was writing his own entries last spring; I need to get him back to doing that.

Completed math workbook pages. Colin did 2, Nate did 2.

Completed copywork page. Both practiced our phone number and their full names.

Colored a shark coloring page.

Listened to me read some basic info about sharks. (It's a shark unit this week.)

Colin also did:

1 page in his spelling workbook.

Read one story from an early reader book to me.

A worksheet about the /sh/ sound.

Nate also did:

A worksheet matching uppercase and lowercase letters from A - E. He will complete the rest of the alphabet throughout this week.

Sat with me and sounded out the words in the 1st book of Set 1 of Bob Books. He was so very pleased with himself! He can't wait for his dad to come home so he can read to him. I honestly wasn't sure he was ready, but he proved me wrong! I love when that happens :)

We're headed off to the Arizona Natural History Museum because they have a display of a prehistoric shark mouth, as well as some prehistoric ocean displays. DH had a morning and evening call, so he was able to join us this afternoon!
