Another crazy day, but we did manage to get all the book wor
k done. We started the day as we always do with Choices and then speech. After, Luke worked on his Abeka curriculum and we used manipulatives to cement the basic addition concepts he is learning. Our math manipulative box is really nothing special, just a box of number magnets with operation symbols and some dollar store creepy crawlers. We also practiced patterns by putting the manipulatives in order, like snake, spider, lizard, snake, what comes next. We also practiced the concepts of same and different, big and little, etc. For phonics and handwriting, we really only did his Abeka. We did, however, create monsters with the fuzzoddles he has and we made up a story to act out with them. We also read the first book in the Bob books set. He read the entire book alone. I am not sure if he has memorized the book or truly knows the words though. Will need to make some flash cards to ensure that he really is reading the words and not just memorizing the book. Luke also played with his cousins Peyton and Sophie again today. He attempted to teach Peyton how to play nice with our pets and we all went to dinner together, where he practiced eating right, using good table manners, and communicating his needs effectively. He rode with his grandpa to and from the restaurant and grandpa said they had a nice conversation about police officers and their jobs. He stated that Luke worked really hard to pronounce words effectively and he was able to be understood.
