Progressing right along

In general school is going very well. Jewel hit some issues last week with not understanding "first, second, third, etc" and decided she could not do anything. So we took Friday off for her to have some down time. By Saturday she was begging to do school again. We talked about the concept of first/second/third while walking or playing, but did no school until Monday at which point she was more focused. At age 4, seven straight weeks of school with no breaks is plenty! Today she was so proud of herself because she wrote her name for the first time. In math we were discussing the concepts of squares and rectangles and triangles. Here she is creating the shapes with toothpicks and playdough. (And here is Flower with her play dough as well).
