Our First Week

This is kind of a rough overview of our week. This just gives you an idea of the things we cover so you know and also so you can ask your child more in depth questions about their day. For the assessments I asked if they knew Capital Letters, numbers 1-10 by recognition, shapes, colors, how high they could count, how they colored and how they cut. I will keep them on file till the end of the year. If you would like to see them, just let me know. This gives me an idea of what I need to focus on and who needs help.
