Today we read the bee book again and the boys really love it. Then we did some questions about things going on in the pictures of the book, like: why are there dotted lines following the bee, who is the bee with the yellow crown on? Then they asked for a spoon of honey from the bee hive pot. lol
I helped Noah learn to hold his pencil better because his hand looked uncomfortable and he complained with his thumb hurting. So I watched a quick video on how to show them how to hold a pencil, lol, seems like it would be easy to show, but the video made it easier to explain, little trick method. lol He wrote the letter "Bb" again today and I already saw improvement in just one day. :) Eli scribbled again and said "done."
Then we did some pages out of a letter book where we colored the pictures that start with the "b" sound.
For our math today, Eli did a Sesame Street page that explained first, next, and last. And for Noah, we started some basic addition. He seems to really understand math concepts well, so I wanted to give him a little challenge and he did great. He had no trouble counting the puppy groups and adding them together.
Our last lesson was reading from a children's Bible stories book. They didn't pay much attention the first time because Eli was being silly, so I asked them questions and they didn't remember. It was a super short story so they could have remembered, lol. So I told them that if they pay attention and listen and can answer my questions, they get a treat. Bible Bribery...maybe it will work for me too. lol They paid attention the second time and had sweet answers this time, so they got some mini marshmellows.
After Ava wakes up from her nap, we are going to go have some fun outside after lunch. Today was fun, but Ava did not want to nap and Eli is back to full energy(he's recovering from a virus), so keeping him from distracting Noah is gonna be something to work on. He kind of comes and goes, which is fine, I don't expect him to sit down, but I guess if he does get down, I will make him play in his room so Noah won't be as distracted. I'm learning too. :)
