First week finale
Today ends our first full week of kindergarten, YAY!
It was productive. I really see where we achieved some of our goals for the week. His confidence is improving where he doesn’t seek my approval on every answer before he writes it. He is very comfortable with adding by 1 and numbers 1-10 in Spanish. Like many children, he could count in Spanish around 3 or 4 yrs. old but now, he recognizes most of the Spanish number words and can translate them out of sequence.
Handwriting needs a lot of work still but I’m not too concerned. I won’t stress it too much, just some light practicing daily. I’m allowing him to do as much typing as I can incorporate since he likes to do so.
Also, Zion has totally mastered my 1a list of sight words: the, to, a, I, he, and, you, it, of, i.
This has been one of the lessons where typing has been an activity. Today I decided to have him type the words as I called them out instead of him reading them on his own. Sure enough, he could spell them all. I feel very comfortable moving to the next 10 words next week.
Overall, we’ve had a good first week. I’m feeling good about the next.
