We started by doing math. Jimmy did very well with his calendar work. We're going to have to work on what is the "month" and what is the "year" - he'll get them right, but only after guessing the day of the week and the date first. I think it's just his attention span. We've got lots of time to work on this, since we're doing calendar work for every math lesson, so I'm not worried. Today's lesson was using a pretend pocket (a drawing of a pocket on a piece of paper) & a pile of pennies to tell stories. We added pennies to the pocket & took some away, counting each time to find out how many pennies were still in the pocket. Jimmy declined the chance to tell his own story this morning. I think he was tired.
We read Yellow Ball next. Today, we talked about how the story was written in short, choppy phrases that were often only single words. I asked Jimmy to describe our living room that way. He would say something long-ish, and I would make it into a short, choppy phrase. Jimmy caught on right away, telling a very funny story about what Caleb was doing. Caleb, for his part, made sure to be very active so Jimmy had lots to tell. =)
We finished with LotW. We reviewed the J & K verses (the verses are down so we're just working on perfecting the references). The I wrote the sample J, j, K, and k's. Jimmy wrote his letters on his own. He chose to write them in this order: k, K, J, j. Not exactly sure why. All of his letters today got stars.
