Work Jobs -- worksheet -- write numeral for amount in picture; worksheet -- initial consonants; worksheet -- adding sums through 6

Special Music -- [smiley] Independent! Mrs. Richards said he did GREAT! Followed all directions, did as he was told.

Other -- Reading -- Talking with Dad, picture walked through book; read orally. Discussed book :& answered comprehension questions. Seat-work -- sentence structure and then color word sheet.

Teacher Comments: We will start sending home Jack's AR media center books (since we know they'll be in good hands & not lost! [smiley]) so he will have more time to read.

niknotes: Mr. Don told us that Jack cried all the way home on the bus. Jack required lots and lots of comforting from both Mama and Da (who was home early from work)! FINALLY, he told us that he was upset over not having been the first in line to catch the bus. Before that, though, it sounds like he had a great day. I hope the fact that he ate very little lunch is due to how many blueberry muffins he ate for breakfast (four and a half!, probably his total daily caloric needs) rather than an indication of impending cough/cold/flu.

Jack's AR book is Twister, but he seems disappointed that there is only one page with any tornado action. The rest is anticipation of danger and then the clean-up.

(note re: new subject line) -- I wrote a more comprehensive note at the end of the Mick report today. Briefly, the new subject can be saved directly as .htm file, for my own convenience, for posting on our new website: www.dullaghan.net. It's only partially constructed, but please feel free to check it out. And there's a guestbook on our Family Tree page if you'd like to sign in. Comments/suggestions welcome!
