Week 1: Pp

The first week actually went a lot better than expected. Having the curriculum was so helpful. Cohen had a hard time Tuesday (who can blame the guy after such a long break?) but, surprisingly, by Wednesday he was pretty much back into the swing of things, with only occasional resistance lol. He does seem to have regressed a bit, though.. He went back to writing his name in all caps at first, and is suddenly having a hard time with patterns which he never had trouble with before. I don't know what that's all about, but we're going to work on them some more next week.

Rustiness aside, the kid is brilliant. We've been working on phonics for all of 4 days and he sounded out the word pepper all on his own Friday!! And of course, as he reads it I think to myself "Oh my gah. My child is a genius! Only 5 and sounding out words! He's still a baby! A-ca-believe-it!"

I'm know, I know.. this is probably totally normal for his age, and yes, I know 5 is not technically "a baby" to most people.. I won't spoil my his moment with rational thinking. Ain't nobody got time for that. ;)

Anyway...

Week 1: Pp

Phonics, Printing, Patterns, Pretend play, Pouring with pitchers, Paper Maché and 'Pink Peppermint Play-dough'

(p.s. I'm loving this letter theme thing! So up my alley) ;)

 

Note to self: I need to take more pictures of him during the day. Especially during experiments..
