star_inventionHannah is bringing home a new sight word every other day. So far words she brought from school are:
the
here
is
a
an
we
see
and
She and I were reviewing her sight words today and then we were reading a book and Hannah was supposed to read all words that she knew. Afterwords I suggested to her that we create our own sight word cards with other words that she knows how read. We added to her list:
hat
at
off
cat
dog
fat
in
on
bee
hats
park
car
I am sure there are more words that she knows, but they were not in the book we read. We will pick out a different book tomorrow.
She also brings home from school little books that they are supposed to read to parents every day. She has 3 books so far. All books are using only their school sight words or picture for other words. She got a reading certificate yesterday in school for reading her book to the class.
For writing they are practicing their letters (one at a time). They are up to letter "J" now. Also, every day, she has to write her first and last name one time. She also has to write her current sight word 3 times, then write a sentence (with parent's help) using her sight word, and draw a picture about her sentence.
In math they are studding patterns. For a month now, she does circle triangle circle triagle, leather, rinse, repeat. On one of her worksheets, there was a pattern of 3 items, shoe jacket glove, but it was crossed out by the teacher as too challenging. *face palm*
Out of the blue, last weekend, Hannah asked me to teach her Russian. I told her a few words, but then I was kind of thinking that she will forget about it. No, she has asked me 3 times this week. How do I force myself to speak Russian to her I don't know. But I will try and see what happens.
For todays homework she had to write 4 things that she is thank ful for. She wrote:
my toys
my family
Have food from God
For the whole school
I had to have a brief conversation with her how food comes from stores, I bring food home, you can refer to God as Mommy from now on.

Но мы тогда только переехали, это была новая школа, и она ходила в Gifted and Talented Kindergarden в предыдущей школе. Впрочем, сейчас в 2м классе таже картина.
