Halloween is Monster’s favorite holiday so we have already started the celebration. Instead of “rowing” books this month, we will read all the library books we can find on Halloween or Halloween related stories.
This week:
We made witch hat cookies and decorated our foam pumpkins.
We also visited the zoo for homeschool day and Monster touched a snake (again!).
Math: Monster keeps plugging through Horizons K and doesn’t complain about math time at all. We also finished another chapter in Life of Fred: Apples. The Tank is now working through MEP Reception and a pre-miquon book. She loves this and has already zoomed through the first 4 lessons in two days.
Reading: Monster continues to dislike reading so we have switched our gears to spelling. All About Spelling will focus on phonics just as All About Reading does, but it will progress at a faster pace and work on encoding rather than decoding. He has zoomed through the first six steps this week and didn’t even mind writing his spelling words!! Step 6 is the first step with dictation and he wrote every spelling work perfectly!! He was so proud of himself 
Other: The Tank has almost finished her cutting and coloring Kumon books. I am constantly looking for new things to occupy her. Next up is the cutting and pasting book. She hasn’t used glue much so I’m sure it will be a little more challenging for her. Monster is still working through Developing the Early Learner and a Kumon Mazes book.
