Typical Day

What we* did today: Circles and Squares Math worsheet: Circles.  Color the items that are circles (too easy) Math worksheet: Squares.  Match the square item to the square shape (also too easy, the rectangle didn't even trip him up) pointed out all the circles and squares in the house--too easy so i called out other shapes.  It was fun to run around like maniacs trying to find the next shape! demonstrated different shapes using a beaded necklace.  Willow really loved this game. Found small items of various shapes to trace and color. Ran errands Post Office to buy stamps (Ryvre told everyone in the place all about his worksheets and finding shapes LOL) Bank Thrift store; each picked a halloween book and a coloring book We planned to go to the library, but it was closed.  Not sure why since everything else was open today! Alphabet Made his own upper- and lower-case flashcards; needed reminders on about 1/8 of the letters Put cards into alphabetical order--some trouble because he had a hard time reading his own writing; did about half and got discouraged. *It can generally be assumed that Willow is doing exactly what her brother is doing, to the best of her ability.  It might mean simply coloring the worksheet instead of doing the work, but you can bet she's right in the middle of each and every activity, except in the rare instance that she's decided she needs a nap, or would rather play with her dolls.
