Miles has been getting really good at spelling his name. It looks a little sca - wompy (love that word) but you can definitely tell it's his name. The other day I found this site that lets you type in a list of words and it makes a worksheet out of them so the kids can practice tracing and writing those words. I decided to put in his first, middle, and last name. (I did this for Kamri too since I realized she didn't know how to spell her middle name.) I then laminated them so we can use them over and over againf or practice. He was pretty excited to see his name written out and loved it. He did get really frustrated that he couldn't do it perfectly and that his lines were crooked. What is it with my kids and their perfectionistic attitude? I don't know where they get that from ;).
Look how hard he's concentrating. So cute!!
While he was doing that I had Kamri working on her list of sight words she was working on passing off. By the end of the school year they're supposed to have passed off atleast up to list 8. She's on list 18 right now out of 25. Her goal is to get all 25 passed off before she finishes kindergarten. I'm sure she already knows all of them but it's up to me to remember to work on them at home and then remember to send a note to her teacher letting her know Kamri's ready to be tested and move on to the next list. She's always so proud of herself when she gets a new list. She gets so excited it's fun to watch. She's such a good reader. I'm amazed sometimes at some of the big words she knows or can sound out. When we read scriptures she can usually read the whole verse by herself - even the big words. And I love that I can just ask her to sit and read to Miles and Asia if I need her to.
