Week 3 - English Lesson 1

We did some spelling. He's good. Just like his mom ...

We read quite a few rhyming books and poems. Afterwards he picked out rhyming words and then made up more of his own.

These were his best:

dad sad mad
fish dish Trish (it was the first time he'd ever written my name and his reaction was quite sweet)
love dove shuv
away bay hay may
flap tap map lap

He really enjoyed this and tomorrow he gets to make up his own rhyme and he's excited about that. Even though we're a day behind schedule I am not too worried as he so enjoys his English classes and gets through the work so quickly. Actually this evening I COULD have spent less time reading and moved onto lesson 2 and finished it, but instead I just let him read and explore the poems and rhymes. I think he really appreciates and enjoys poetry and who am I to rush him when he's only just discovering the joys!
