Jonathan continued to learn his letters and sounds. We did bible reading each day and Aesop Fables. In math we started to learn about place value, numbers above 10 and played games. The week was short since we spent a long weekend in Prescott with Grandma and Grandpa. Here are some pictures from our trip up north. The boys went on hikes and we visited a pumpkin patch.

Jonathan got to hike up Thumb Butte with Daddy and Grandpa.

What a great weekend in Prescott!
This week no one was sick...yippeee! To help Jonathan learn his letters and sounds, I pulled out the McGuffey readers. They have the alphabet with pictures and words and he loved "reading" the words. Since he was showing so much interest I decided to try some word building. I put 'at' out and told him it was "at". I then added a 'b' and he had no clue what to do (even after I sounded it out). He knows the 'b' sound but he is still not ready for reading lessons. I learned very quickly that the pictures on the McGuffey readers were key. He loves reading the words and for now that is just fine with me.
In math we continued with place value and played games.
We read from our bible each day and many Aesop Fables. We also read some from the Wizard of Oz since Jonathan and I are going to a play this weekend. Our cousin is in the play and I wanted Jonathan to have a basic understanding of the story.
We are almost through all the letters in Delightful Handwriting but his interest in handwriting is not what it used to be. He is still only 5 and I think we are going to take a break for a month. If he starts to ask for lessons again, I will pull it back out.
For Science this week we read about the golden rod in Outdoor Secrets and looked at pictures of the golden rods on wikipedia. He then drew a picture in his nature journal.
Thanks again for sharing our week!
