Emily's Progress

Emily has finished reading 'I Can Read It Book 1' and is now on book 2. She is quite pleased with her accomplishment. She also LOVES math. We spend ~1-1.5 hours a day on math. She just keeps asking for more and then makes up her own story problems (yes, math story problems) for additional fun and application. She also looks forward to changing the calendar on the fridge, filling out her math book calendar and weather graph, and then using the 100 counting chart. Today I gave her a bowl full of change and asked her to use her counting chart to tell me how many pennies were in the bowl. She enjoyed the challenge and ended up on 67 pennies! She seemed to enjoy that more than discovering how many bananas she weighed. :-)

Emily's handwriting is greatly improving as well. Her letters and numbers are very smooth and proportionate compared to two months ago. I'm quite impressed. :-)

Enough for now... more to come.
