Our day was 1 hour and 17 minutes long. And that was before i added the alphabet craft. lol. As usual Emma zooms through her work while Ry is very careful to do stuff right.
I am looking forward to starting our actual lessons. However, i have come to realize it will not be near as hard as i thought it would be. What do i mean? Well for instance i decided t go over what we would be doing the first day of lesson 1. And as i went through each step it was obvious that we would zoom, litereally through the alphabet sounding thing. And in fact things will probably stay very minimal until week 6 when we begin using the Blend Ladder.
I am proud that we have the whole letter sounds down already. Emma is stubborn but very scary smart. She i very confident in what she says is right and even when she is wrong she does not seem bothered about it. I correct her and tell her try again and she does. Or she will catch it herself and smack her forehead( there is no study yet that says smacking your forehead when you realize you got the answer wrong causes brain damage (( thank you rylie for teaching your sister that technique of *duhness)).)Ry is insecure of getting things wrong. I need to help her build up her confidence and learning. I need to make sure that it is ok to make mistake, its just like spilling juice, we clean it up and try again. She is a perfectionist like me. If i am going to do it i want to do it right. And thats how she is. I need to find away to let her know it doesnt have to be perfect which is great because i can tell her what i think would have helped me. or does help me LOL
