School - Hannah

Hannah 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.
