Today's big plan was to go to the Dallas Arboretum. After I got the kids ready to go and while I got myself ready for the day, Carson did some math where he worked on place value and adding single and double digits. Then we went to the arboretum and had a fun time with friends, had a picnic, splashed in the frog fountain and came home.
While the baby slept, I worked with Carson on his cursive writing. He dictated a paragraph to me about his day at the arboretum and I wrote it down in cursive leaving out a few words. He wrote the missing words in cursive. We also discussed parts of speech. Then he got on the computer and did some geography using time4learning.com.
After nap, Carson read and read and read. I am trying to keep better records and I am trying to record what he reads. He read 18 books - 2 of them were chapter books. He really enjoys reading. We also finished maping our hurricane chart for Hurricane Bill. He spent most of his evening taking apart his remote control boat and investigating how it works. Then he broke a rudder and had to replace it.
He was really happy and excited to do his schoolwork. I think he is feeling more like a big kid and special that he gets to 'do school'.
