Home School - Week 13

Writing Prompt


 

We've had a couple of weeks off home school because Faith's been frantically trying to get all the tasks done for the 'Dare to Explore' Challenge that we picked up at the library. Now that we're done with it (the celebration party's this coming Thursday night), we can get back to the regular Mummy tasks. Thank goodness really cause it was 24 different tasks like making invisible ink, learning a Maori game, designing a spaceship, drawing a map of your backyard, reading at least 6 books......
Back to the usual now..... except I'm leaving out spelling for a bit because that's a strength for Faith, which leaves more time for Maths, a bit more of a struggle.

Her invitation to the celebration party was a prized possession on the day she got it and then it got left out on the driveway in the rain. Hope she can still use it to get in!

Home School Week 2


Writing Prompt
Review of last weeks tasks

What she wrote on her own

Mum forced her to do a little more!

I got readers from the library so we could keep going with reading this week (without having school readers). She loved it and this week even Ella got some emergent readers. She's learnt 2 off by heart already!


I totally wish we'd done this before now. After 4 tests (over only 2 days) she's almost shaved 2 minutes off her time. I said when she's down in the 2s, we're going to add the rest of the cards so she's doing addition to 20. I'm really hoping it, combined with our problem solving practise will boost her Maths skills

She loved this so much that when I said that's it for today she bugged me for ages afterwards to make her some new questions.

When she saw her spelling words to practise, she got on straight away and did what they do at school....read, cover, write, check. Then the next day we did the test where I read the word and used it in a sentence.....8/8! Too easy!
