Much better day today! Got some advice from a friend to pray before the day begins and God will give you the grace to get through it, and boy was she right! It started off a little rough, but I could feel Him working on me all morning and it was awesome. Anyway..........
FIAR: J & P
Read The Rag Coat by Lauren Mills
FIAR Literature - discussed telling a story in a way other than written form, like in a quilt. FIAR workbook suggested discussing the stories of the quilt/rag coat from the story and then showing student something from your own home that had a story behind it. I was a bit nervous because I didn't think I had something like that but then I remembered the quilt my Mother made me about 10 years ago! It was made of all my old flannels and each piece she used was from some of my favorite shirts and I was able to tell J & P the stories behind them and the memories I got from looking at each piece. Also special because it reminded me of what a kind mother I had for her to make me such a special thing. J was way into it!
Math: J
SSM Workbook - pgs 34 & 35 - horizontal subtraction problems; writing number words; graphs and subtraction through graphs. J had lots of fun doing this, he loves graphs.
He saw that tomorrow is working on tally marks and is nervous about it, but I know he will have fun =)
Music: J & P
Read intro and chapters 1(John) & 2(Paul) of "Who Were The Beatles?" - went over birthdays, musical influences, hometown, WWII, and more. Tomorrow: Ringo and George!
Spelling/Writing: J
Had J sound out: sun, top, cat & pray. Had trouble with sun and pray, but did well with top and cat. Had him write out each word 3 or 4 times.
Coloring: P
Colored in kitten coloring book
Phys Ed: J, P & C
Took a walk after breakfast and before school. This tried my patience a bit because J & P kept fighting over who got to push Charlie in the stroller (among other things), but it was ok. I just made a mental note to plan ahead with timed turns, etc. for next time.

Happy Anniversary to me and Adam!
School only went OK today. J Seemed detached. And C drove me CRAZY.
FIAR: J & P - read The Rag Coat by Lauren Mills
I almost broke out in tears about 8 times during this 20+ page book. I'm not sure how I will get through reading it every day this week!
FIAR - Social Studies: J
Geography - Found the Appalachian mountains on US map. Story doesn't specifically state it takes place in PA, but we put tag on PA since it has coal mines and gets cold around the same time the book stated.
Talked a lot about coal mining. It scared J a bit, he said he is glad Daddy is not a coal miner because he doesn't want him to die. That led us to a whole other conversation which tied in with the story, death of a parent. Talked briefly about it but didn't get too heavy.
Relationships - discussed relationship between Minna and her father, Minna and the Quilting Mothers and Minna and her classmates. Talked about aspects of each relationship and discussed how these things show up in J's life.
Funerals - talked further about death and dying. Asked J if he had any questions but he really didn't have any.
This all took a LONG time. Mostly when I asked J a question he would say "I don't know" and not really try until I coaxed him into remembering aspects of the story. Not sure why the detachment today. He said he thought the story was very good.
Math: J
SSM Workbook pgs 31-33 - measuring w/ rulers; horizontal and vertical subtraction problems; word problems, writing out subtraction problems.
Clocks - matching clocks with time sentence
Coloring: J
Finished coloring his September picture.

Needed to get some shopping done today so skipped school. Didn't have materials for science project for FIAR anyway so we will catch up on that another time. Went for new sneakers for J, P & C and it was a great trip! The women in the store were so helpful and doted on the boys and even let J & P scan in their own sneakers. =)

FIAR: J & P
Read Lentil
Math - Counting the beats of musical notes (fractions). Showed J a whole note, third(?) note, half note and quarter note. Put them in a measure of music and taught him how to hum it out. Cut up a paper circle into quarters to help him understand. Confused at first, but then he exclaimed, "Oh! This is just like math!" and then it really clicked for him.
Math: J
SSM Workbook - pgs 28-30 - subtraction; writing math sentences; greater than less than symbols; color by number
Money - played Store. Put some prices on some knick-knacks and gave J some coins to buy them. Told him to pick his favorites as he didn't have enough money for all of them. This turned out to be a little torturous for me because J just COULD NOT decide what to buy. Should he not buy the cooler expensive things so that he could have MORE? or should he buy favorites and not have so much?? This honestly took him about 45 minutes to decide and I think took away from the actual money lesson. He did ok with counting the money out, definitely needs more work, but he was SO distracted over what he could and couldn't afford that adding the coins took a backseat. Need to think of a better game.
Reading: J
Chapters 34 & 35 of LPP
Writing: P
BPW pgs 104-105 - writing letters H & I - actually did pretty well with H, but it turned into mostly scribbles. He's having fun =)

Read story - Lentil
FIAR Art: J
Medium - Lentil is illustrated in charcoal, but not having any, we talked about how to use pencil for drawing, shading, 2D, 3D, etc. Talked about shadows and light sources and drew some things.
Picture Detail - The artwork in Lentil is excellent, and you can almost get the entire story just out of the pictures without even reading the story. J thought this was really cool!
Architecture - Talked about the Colonel's house and how it was different from house you see today. Talked about houses from different times look different and talked about styles of houses. Would be nice to take a drive around and look at different style houses, but I don't think we can do that when gas is a million dollars a gallon.
Musical Skill - Discussed the harmonica and how Lentil wasn't good at it straight-away but had to practice all the time to get really good at it. Talked about patience, commitment, dedication and practice.
Math:
WAK flashcards - 68-75 - finished! - covered: deductive reasoning; months of the year; days of the week.
We have rarely gone over months of the year.
Now that cards are done, things that need to be focused on: fractions; large number placement; money; months of the year (name and order); counting by twos (odd or even), tally charts
SSM Workbook - pgs 25-27 - ordinal numbers; symmetry; adding, bar graphs; word problems
Coloring: J
Colored more of September in calendar
General: P
BPW pgs 102-103 - writing F and G - not good at all!! But he's having a lot of fun trying and he's only 4 so I'm ok with that =)
Phys Ed: J & P
Rode bikes for a while, J approx 30 minutes, P about 15. J is getting so good! Said he'd be interested in taking off the training wheels soon. Both also played some Wii Fit at night.

Short day today, but a good one!
FIAR: J & P - Read Lentil
Literature: Went over 5 key elements of a story - Setting the stage; conflict; rising action; climax; denouement - discussed all these things in regards to Lentil. FIAR book suggested writing a story with all these elements, but instead I asked J to think about The Story About Ping and see if he could tell me all 5 stages of that story. He did amazingly!!! Things I was sure he would miss he got exactly right and even caught a couple of things that I hadn't thought of. It was so amazing to me because TSAP is a MUCH different story than Lentil, so for J to have figured out everything so well means he really was understanding the concept of all the elements. It was great, we were both very excited.
Math:
WAK flashcards - 62-67 - counting; greater than less than (between coins and paper money); tally charts; matching; addition; division - this concept was definitely beyond his current skill level. Is a 1st grader supposed to know how to divide?!?
SSM Workbook - pgs 23-24 - ordinal numbers - 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.; commutative property of addition. Was a little confusing for him at first, he had to write out his own math problems with a given set of three numbers. After I sat with him and explained it a bit he understood and did really well.
General: P
BPW pg 101 - writing the letter E and identifying pictures that start with the E sound.
Phys Ed:
J & P rode bikes around Greenbriar I and then went home and had drinks, then took an equally long walk after that. C in stroller. Beautiful day!

Happy first day of Fall!
Discussed first day of Fall very briefly. We're all excited!
FIAR: Read Lentil by Robert McCloskey; written in 1940
FIAR Social Studies: J&P
Geography - Found Ohio on map in basement and marked it. Found NJ and figured out which direction you would follow to get to Ohio. Talked about fun ways to remember how to spell Ohio.
Human Relationships - Talked about how Lentil may have felt about being different from all his friends when he couldn't do what they could do. Then talked about Lentil's special gift. Talked about what can make people unique and how it's good to have a variety of things in every aspect of your life. Variety of friends, foods, etc. Wouldn't it be boring if you were just like everyone else!? Talked about focusing on people's strengths rather than their weaknesses.
Human Relationships - Disagreeable People - Discussed jealousy - this went on for a LONG time. Jesse got upset at times when I pointed out times when he was jealous of others, but understood what I was getting at in the end. Still struggled with this when Paul came up with an answer faster than he did at one point, but we talked through it and Jesse told Paul he was proud of him for coming up with the answer so fast, albeit, begrudgingly. But practice of breaking old bad habits is a start.
Small town life/History - Compared and contrasted life in a small town and a big city. Also compared and contrasted how things have changed in the last 70 years. Clothes, cars, traffic, etc.
Patriotism - Looked at and discussed the American flag and what it reprsents and also talked about reasons to be proud of living in your country. Jesse said he was most excited about being able to worship God because He is so great!
Math: J
WAK flashcards - 54-61, covered: identifying large numbers; deductive reasoning; separating groups in half (this took us a LONG while to work on, but he was SO EXCITED when the concept finally clicked!!! and then it was easy for him); coin identification; matching number sentences with picture problems; matching; patterns.
SSM Workbook - pgs 20-22 - covered: horizontal math problems; writing number words; word problems; Venn Diagram (needed guidance with this, but again, very excited when it clicked)

Science: J & P
Animal Kingdom - Discussed the animal kingdom and everything we learned about ducks through this story. Environmental necessities, eating habits, etc.
Buoyancy - Discussed why boy with barrel on his back (from story) would float. Then did experiment on things that float - filled clear Tupperware with water and tested: cork, styrofoam ball, wooden spoon, hard rubber ball, tennis ball, pencil, rock, shell, quarter. Asked before test what they thought would float and what would sink. They got about half right. As each object was tested we would discuss why it floated or sank. The thought this was pretty much the most fun thing ever.
Safety - Discussed life-jackets (modern day barrel) and why they are important to use.
Reflection of light - Discussed what a reflection is and asked what things aside from water reflect light and why.
Math: J
WAK cards 44-53 - instrument identification; calendar; days of week; identifying flags from clues given; greater than less than; word problems; smallest largest; shape identification; money; counting by twos
Needs extra attention and work on calendars and counting by twos.
SSMW - pgs 17-10 - addition word problems; writing numbers; horizontal and vertical addition problems, counting money
Money - gave him groups of coins to add, then gave him the coins and an amount of cents and he had to put the group of coins together himself. Still needs work. Told him we could play 'shop' tomorrow.
Reading: Ch 33 of LPP
Will start on writing next week

Shopped in the morning, so had J skip nap and did school with just him in the afternoon.
FIAR - Read The Story about Ping
Literature: Explained what a classic story is, and what the word generation means (in terms of family). Explained what fiction means. Discussed the use of repetition in the book and how that helps remember things.
Math: Ping - We counted all the members of Ping's family
Math workbook - pages 12 and 13 - writing number words (a little trouble but did well); lesser than and greater than (without symbols)
WAK Flashcards - 24-31 - larger & smaller; adding money; identifying shapes; fractions (with pizza); identifying highest numbers; figuring answers from clues given
Money - Had J figure out how to make certain figures. Did well with $2.67, not so good with $1.98 - trying to go a little too fast, I think. Backed up and learned about quartes and how many make a dollar and what groups of quarters equal how much (1 = 25, 2 = 50, etc). Then asked to figure out 0.89 and he did really well.
Reading: Read lots of Aesop's Fables today on his own, also read Chapter 30 of LPP.
