Zachary

Zachary's 1st unofficial week has ended and it was great!  We ended the school week by picking up pizza and crazy bread and heading out for a picnic to our new splash pad.  Daddy was off at 5 PM; which was a HUGE shock.......LOL  So, we all got to go together.  I suggested a picnic at the park and Zachary was all over that.  He couldn't wait to tell daddy about it when he got home around 6 PM.  So, we all changed into our swimsuits and headed out.  We had a great time!

This week Zachary worked on tracing, cutting, writing, and coloring.  We will be adding more into our school days once we get back from Chicago.  However, I'm not going to push him at this age, so we'll see how it goes and play it by ear.  I have a learning to read program through Hooked on Phonics, and we're going to attempt to work on this.  We might have to wait depending on if he's ready for that yet or not.  He is still learning what the letters stand for, so we might have to get through all of that; I'm not sure.  I need to look over the program again and see what level Zachary should be at when starting it.  :)  It's so fun!!!

Okay, here is a picture of Zachary's coloring from Friday.  This was the BEST he has ever done.  He took his time with my encouragement.  I gave him a color and told him which part of the girl to color with it.  He was able to follow simple directions.  I was encouraging him to stay within the lines, so as you can see; he did really well.  At least in my (biased) opinion......LOL  :)

 

 

Check out this proud smile.........LOVE it!

 

Here is an up close picture of his work.  He traced the first word one; then I wrote an O; then he wrote an O, etc. through the rest of the "n" and "e".  Above that is where he wrote the number 1 over and over.
