It was a pretty quiet week. I had neck pain a lot this week, so we pretty much kept it simple. In math we've worked on numbers 5-10. Eleanor is still doing great with math. I was worried she might be getting bored, but apparently not. She asks to do math first everyday.
In phonics we added the letter r to our repertoire. She's got the sounds we've done so far down pat. This week we played a memory game with the letters we've learned so far, which she loves. I'll have to incorporate more games into our work, since she loves them so much.

We continued to read in the read a louds we've started and we started another one. We were actually supposed to start it at the beginning of the year, but I hadn't bought it yet. I finally discovered the library had it and checked it out. She loved it! It's called Things People Do and it's about a fictional island named Banila and all of the people who live and work there. We also started a collection of stories called Uncle Wiggly's Story Book. This one, she loves a lot less. It's very old fashioned, with words and phrases she doesn't really get, and it has very few pictures. We're soldiering on through it, but it's not being well received.
Finally, her writing assignment went really well this week. Mostly, I think, because she didn't know what we were doing. She was supposed to explain how to do something. Earlier that day she had drawn a self-portrait on the chalkboard and she was very proud.
So I asked her to tell me how to draw one like it. I wrote down what she said then read it back as I drew. It was quick, easy, and I'm pleased with how well she did:
Like I said, a pretty quiet week.
Good job Nora & mom!!
