what a week!

we moved last week and have been super busy getting our new house set up, including a school room! i haven't taken any pics of it yet though because it isn't done. it's coming together though.

nicholas finished his first phonics workbook on sunday. we are starting fun fonics: book 1 on thursday. which works out because he liked doing the vowels in the last book and asked to do more. this book is all vowels.

he's almost mastered counting to 20. he forgets 15 and that gets the rest of them jumbled. when he remembers it, he's good. next for math is to do <, >, or = with only numbers. not like he did in the first math chapter (which side had more dots). steven drew/laminated alligators to help before. i think they are going to really help him understand the next section.

i've been keeping up with the daily montessori activities. i haven't been taking pics everyday but we've done some pom pom transfers, some patterns, lacing, water transfers, bells, and some others. he really really likes it. especially when noah isn't bugging him. :p

we did 2 lacing cards. one had a crab on it and the other had a spinning wheel and a cat. the crab one went with AotW and the spinning wheel went with this weeks poem.
