Well we finally made it through week 3. The schedule got a little off track, but we're still making progress and have a good plan in place for the next few weeks that works around some appointments we have coming up. Here's what we did this week.
We started the week by going to our first play, it was a children's theater show called Maximus Mars. The kids loved it and can't wait to go back next month for the next play in the series.

Everett...
completed a lesson in First Language Lessons 4, which he apparently requires the use of his homemade Emu Quill ballpoint pen.
Annika...
refused to let me take any pictures of her working, so all I have is a short write up. She did an excellent job at Vision Therapy which means she got to drop two of her least favorite therapy homework assignments. She completed 2 lessons in First Language Lessons 3, 4 pages in her penmanship book, 4 pages of Explode the Code book 4, 3 lessons in Teaching Textbooks, and half of Step 2 in All About Spelling level 2. I also wanted to get her reading again, she's been a bit reluctant to read because of her difficulties and vision issues. I remembered a post on a homeschool forum by a mom that mentioned she got her daughter to enjoy reading practice more by using picture books instead of leveled readers. So we stopped at the library after therapy and picked up 8 books, she's read two this week and was so proud of herself.
Lucas...
completed 5 math lessons in McRuffy math K and 2 penmanship pages. He was super happy to see Ziggy the Zebra from All About Reading make a return. I dug out our AAR level Pre-1 stuff while we wait for level 1 to be released. We went through this level before but he wasn't interested in the worksheets, so we picked those up where we'd left off. He did the pages for Captial letter K and L and had fun playing games with Ziggy. Here he is with his completed Letter "L" page.

All in all a decent week, now that we're back on track things should go much more smoothly.

Yay, for Ziggy. My Lance loved Ziggy. Thankfully he hasn't noticed him missing yet ;)Lucas did a great job with his L page.
Looks like another great week for you all.
LOL. GIRLS. Lydia goes through that "don't take my picture" phase on occasion.
That homemade pen is AWESOME. Now my kids want to make one.
To answer your question on my blog...I'm going to post sometime in the next day or so how we plan on scheduling AAS (or at least trying a new schedule).
