Schoolwork Accomplished:
*She wrote a story based on a picture (she had so much trouble with this-she can't seem to come up with anything for an assigned topic, she can write only when it's of her own chosing. We will be working on this skill.)
*She finished her skill drill page. This was also a major accomplishment, she's been struggling with math.
*She did two lesson's worth of spelling assignments.
*Silent reading-Bobbsey Twins.
Lessons were cut short by my parents' visit for my birthday.

Schoolwork Accomplished:
*two sheets of cursive writing practice-one upper case, one lower case
*English for the Thoughtful Child, continued. She's having a lot of trouble with NEATLY copying sentences. She mispells words, forgets punctuation, and it definitely isn't her best handwriting! Very frustrating for me.
*We sat in the backyard and read the introduction and first chapter of the Story of the World by Susan Wise Bauer. (she started out not at all interested, but by the end of the first chapter, I could tell interest was building. I stopped there though, because I had promised to only read one chapter.)
*She began writing a story, entirely on her own, in her newly designated Story Notebook
* A skill drill page on subtraction, with borrowing. This is still review, but it's something she struggles with.
*We read 4 chapters of On the Banks of Plum Creek.
I read the boys The Three Little Pigs and would have read more but they were too unruly tonight to completely pay attention.
Over the weekend we read the last Aesop's fable, she did laundry on her own twice, and she of course did more reading on her own!
