So, today's lesson...definitely more organized and structured. However, it BOMBED. I was met with the classic: "When are we going to do something funner?" Not even grammatically correct! Oh well, back to the drawing board.
Of course, there's always the option that my brilliant daughter is bored because she truly does know the short vowel sounds now. I certainly do. I'm drilling them in my sleep. But I digress. So tomorrow, we start blending, folks. We'll be making actual, tw0-letter words. I'm sure she'll LOVE that.
The only part of today's lesson that didn't bomb was making cookies. We read If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and then we made cookies. As she was attempting to pour the entire contents of our sugar canister into the bowl, I kindly pointed out to her that it wasn't time yet-not yet not yet not yet!!! To which she replied "Yes it is." Ordinarly, this is my cue to say "No it isn't," but today I took the higher road and said "I'm reading the directions. When you learn to read, then you'll know exactly when to put in the sugar." Yes, I did sound sanctimonious and snotty (mostly just snotty). Ugh.
Oh well, as Scarlett says, "tomorrow is another day."
