School is in session!

Well the Wicker Academy that is! Braeden has been out of school now for a couple of weeks and has had tons of fun but as a family we realized that it was time for some structure again.

Sunday night we started a family exercise/stretch time. Although Braeden wants to do Tae Bo at this time, we keep it to a few minutes of stretches and fun exercises. We have been doing this each night after dinner to promote some more family time and exercise as it has been really hot outside for Braeden to run around.

Today we started doing some academic work. Keeping it fun of course! Sorry Kadi (and others who hate blogs about how well their kids are doing!:))! We started with some flash cards of sight words and Braeden did excellent. Out of 108 words he knew 78 of them and the ones he didn't know, he was pretty close in saying the words. We also started some Kindergarten Readiness packets that we got from Teacher Barbara a while back. Braeden was able to identify the difference between uppercase and lowercase letters and he was able to read all the colors (text) and match them up to the correct marker.

School is now adjourned for the day and I did take some pictures of Braeden working away but he is currently chasing the dog around with the camera taking pictures so I will need to post those later.
