Swim Class

Last Thursday was our second to last swim class. We received the fantastic news that he has graduated from the tadpole class! Alex says he is ready to move up to the next class- the pollywog class. Tomorrow is his last class with the tadpoles and he will be moving up in the New Year! I’m so proud of him!

School & surprise play date!

School consisted of J’s LA workbook, math (addition with multiple addends) and a social studies “All About Me” worksheet. The social studies worksheet doubled as a writing lesson because J learned about comma usage and the appropriate place for a period. During school, Cait was napping.

We headed to the beloved IT and had a wonderful surprise when we saw Carolyn, Olivia and Eric there!

The kids had lots of fun running around, reading, and doing crafts!

The kids were exhausted by the end of the day (as you can see by J’s face in the last pic).

Another school day!

Although Jayden has been requesting harder work, I’m not planning on introducing any new concepts until after the holidays. So for now this is how school went:

A review of the last two weeks of spelling words. He had an oral exam for both, which he aced.

While he did his spelling, Cait watched the “Bubble Guppies”

He did his math worksheet extremely quickly with no errors.

Then he had to build sentences. He had to cut out the rectangles on the bottom of the page and paste them into the appropriate sentence.

Cait discussed her toes with me.

And last, Jayden worked on his LA workbook.

And Cait also worked on her Blues Clues Dry Erase mat that Jayden bought her with some of his tooth fairy money!Red heart

I forgot to add that over the weekend the children made a no-sew fleece blanket for baby Lexi!
