He is starting to get the hang of the vocab. He gets the key ideas of each lesson. Its the details I worry about.
He counts in 2's just fine. Knows the difference between odds and evens. I found the lesson plan for Day 4 and 5 a bit confusing. The WES course says the text in the OMZ lesson plan book is confusing, but their explanation was not much clearer.
Jonty enjoyed making number patterns. I was not exactly sure what they were so kind of made up what I thought they were!!! I looked through term 1 to see if I missed something, but a quick flip-through yielded nothing - I must e-mail Moira.
He needs to consolidate his "facts to 7". Jonts enjoyed the game, but I did simplify it to build his confidence. I think we'll play the game again - he loved it and it was good practise.
We also used a pack of cards I have for addition practise - up to 7. I actually think he FINALLY grasped that if, for example, 3 + 4 = 7, then 7 - 4 must be 3. I THINK it clicked.
We'll see.
Not a bad week. Yes, some frustration on my part, but he's doing just fine.
I didn't do the Copymaster 3 as it was not in the file, but now see it should be in the Lesson Plan book. I also did not do homework copymaster 12. which was not in the file, but probably also in thte same book. Sadly only read the "additional taeching points" after the lesson and discovered that little gem. But luckily that can be done later as its an extension activity.
