Yesterday we had to go to the store to get supplies to make a cake for my husbands birthday. Dylan would read the labels... well some, he's still learning to read ;) and so he helped pick out all the cake supplies and he could pick out a card for his Dad as long as he could read it. Well he found what seemed like the only card with no words on the front haha. a simple card with a flying cat is what he chose. He was beyond excited because it stated that he would fly up and hug the recipient of the card which was his Daddy ;) He also insisted on getting flowers from the garden section so we went through ALL the plants and flowers reading each label and discussing what each plant/flower looked like, how many petals or leaves etc. He settled on the red tulips and also thought we needed to grow something for home school so we picked up a raspberry plant. each day we will document what we see and measure its height for any progress. and of course when raspberries sprout we will have to explore them too ;) yum!
Today has been a challenge because I had a Dr. appt. and I had both boys. They would fight over the one v. reader since the other batteries died on us =P But Dylan did some reading and vocabulary on it while we waited on my Dr. to get in. As soon as lunch was done we started on letters A & B. reading them in words and writing them. He thought Bobby the Bear was hilarious but he actually wrote out sentences ... yay! Sometimes I feel like its just not enough but its the simple things I should reward right now, especially with his enthusiasm about what he has done. Hopefully by the beginning of next fall he will be caught up and ready to start 1st grade! =) I really do worry that his previous teacher may be right and may need to take Kindergarten again, BUT I am determined to at least get his confidence up and do my best to ensure he wont be held back.
