Week in Review

I can't believe I didn't blog for the whole week! Sorry, I've been busy, totally stressed, and sick :|

This week her sight words were, again, the color words. She's pretty well mastered them all.

Her poem changed from one apple poem to a different apple poem, which messed her up because she kept intertwining the 2 poems. Her teacher had posted the one poem on the Moodle page, and she had it memorized totally over the weekend, then Monday rolled around and the teacher had changed the poem. Kind of sneaky, and Terra never quite learned the new one 100%.

ORIGINAL POEM:
Apple Tree

Way up high in an apple tree
two red apples winked at me.
So I shook that tree as hard as I could
And down came the apples
Mmm- they were good!

NEW POEM:
Apples
Apples, apples what a treat
Sweet and tart and good to eat
Apples green and apples red
hang from branches overhead
and when they ripen,
down they drop
so we can taste our apple crop!

The even more confusing news is that, barring any more changes, next week's poem is also about apples. We're looking forward to more confusion lol.

This week was an all-green-smilies week, of which we are very proud. I'm not sure what her reward will be this week - Daddy has to work (thank you Universe for the opportunity to work, after 9 months of being unemployed!) so whatever it will have to be on Sunday.

There are new pictures up on the Shutterfly site too. Here are a couple of her, with any other children cropped out.

She brought home her first book from the Media Center: "How About a Hug" which doesn't seem to hold her attention, or be all that helpful in learning any of the things they're working on. We went to the local library too, and checked out some more books, books that incorporate her color words, the days of the week, the seasons, etc...

She has not yet learned to write her full name quite well enough to fi it on the line to get her own library card though.
