Saxon Math 1

 Mental math - subtraction!

 Jenni completed Lessons 41-45. She continued writing number sentences and reviewed addition facts - doubles to 20, adding zero and one, and subtracting one. Jenni continues working on writing number sentences, drawing different ways to show a number, ordinal position, and reviewing weight. Her mental math is crazy good and it is so special watching her learn.

Math Workbooks

 Jenni has a large collection of workbooks (math, reading, writing) she gets out when I can't be right next to her at the table. She loves working through them on her own and it makes for fun extra practice of things she's already learned.

All About Reading, Level 1

  We are loving this program and Jenni is making great strides in her reading. All of her reading has helped with her spelling so that's a bonus, too. :)
