Week 20, finally!! The 1st grade curriculum has 34 weeks. That means 14 weeks of school left for Boo. That would put us at the end of June. I'm trying to decide what to do. We will probably just keep moving at our own pace and end up having some short lessons through the summer months with breaks in between. Considering that we have been doing some weeks at half speed, plus we're going on a family vacation before June, I'm thinking we're not going to finish before summer. I already know that Boo will at least need reviewing (especially in reading) through the summer anyway to retain what she's learned this year.
I have been seeing notable improvement in her reading though, she is starting to be able to recognize more words without my help and being able to sound out words faster than she could a few months ago. She's getting there. This week we learned the the /kn/ and /gn/ just make the /n/ sound.
We also continued stories about Moses. We learned about the burning bush and all of the plagues on Egypt. Here are her notebook pages. The writing is really light, so it's not showing up well in the pictures.
Boo also learned to read number words and we labeled the 10 plagues in the order that they happened. For math we practiced subtraction.
Here is a pic of Boo having fun dying her Easter eggs this week.
