Week 5/16 - 5/21: READING


Since reading & writing are the core to all Kindergarten learning, I decided to dedicate one week to getting Michael pumped up about it again. The initial, "I know all my letters and sounds!" euphoria has wore off & reading & writing is becoming drudgery. So we painted some tote bags for each of the kids to have their own library bag. Adds more fun to going to check out books!

It's difficult to find books that are at the level Michael's at, using 50 or so sight words primarily. A couple we found that were great are: Ten Apples Up on Top, and Green Eggs and Ham, both by Dr. Seuss. We also added 20 more sight words for Michael to add to his vocab which is still a work in progress.
