Johnny can read!

Johnny can officially sound out words on his own now!  It was very cool to watch him read several words and 3 "Bob" books on his own today :-)  Here's what else we did at school today:

 Charlie made a hippo.

 Johnny spelled some words.....

 and read some words.

 Then, he read some books!

The boys also finished up some dinosaurs that we started yesterday.



First day of dinosaurs

Johnny started out the morning by building an Army fort and all kinds of vehicles.

We did some Chrisrmas decorating.

We started a new unit for school.

Finishing up unit 7!

Even though I haven't been blogging, we have still been doing school, I promise!!  We have 1 more day left in unit 7, Us.  Then we will be moving on to Dinosaurs.  I am excited because I have some very books on request at the library.  Today, we reviewed our vowels that we've learned so far, A and U.  Charlie worked on a couple of G for gumball activities and Johnny also had a worksheet to complete.  Every day we have learned about a different sense and today was taste so I blind folded the kids and had them taste some different things and tell me what they were.  That was a lot of fun!

 I'm thinking we may need to implement a dress code ;-)

 My newly re-decorated, winter themed, bulletin board.

 Johnny was telling me what the 5 senses are.

 As you can see, Charlie was ready and trusting, where as Johnny was covering his mouth and didn't want me to put unkown things in there, lol.
