We have completed our first math block. We covered the numbers 0 through 9. We also learned about even and odd, and greater than less than. Bryn really go into writing his numbers and the hundreds chart. He has a bound journal that is his to write and draw in whatever and when ever he wants. You can see him practicing his numbers on his own here.

We also made leaf crowns again this year. It is a very simple craft and the boys really enjoy it.

Next month we are finishing up the rest of the letters including the tricky ones that have more than one sound. The other day my DH drew a spider on a web with a fly flying and wrote the word BUZZ. B saw it and said buzz and we were a little surprised. The other day I asked him if he could read and he said no. I asked him how he new the word buzz and he said he just did. I told him well, thats reading! He just smiled. It makes me wonder how many sight words he knows and neither one of us realize. He is excited to learn to read and I am looking forward to it. It’s just really had to know when all the pieces will really fall together and click.

I’ll keep you updated.
