Nice break over Thanksgiving

turn lamp on
wind is blowing
put mony in bank.
ant crawls on ground.
put stamp on envelope.

Had a great first day back after the Thanksgiving week break.  I started feeling sick on Tuesday (last week) and finally went to the doctor on Sunday to find out that I had strep throat.  Thank God for antibiotics...feeling SO much better today and it has only been less than 24 hours since I started taking them.

Mark was sick yesterday...

Mark just stayed in bed all day and did not eat anything...VERY odd behavior for him.  Not really any other symptoms...today, he was pretty flighty and I could not really get him to sit down and attend.  We did a little Camp Discovery but didn't get around to the typing...try again tomorrow...

Mark was at school for not even an hour and the teacher called me to pick him up..he was falling asleep...

No video today...

...Mark was very flighty this morning and I have a terrible headache...I had trouble getting him to sit and he could not concentrate at all on the Camp Discovery so I didn't even bother loading the video...

However, it does look like the email is working again!  So, here is the little bit that we did type:

cast
eggs in nest
mist
chest

Now consonant blends at the end of the word...

elephants have ivory tusk
vest
i can make fist


Okay, I thought we were finishing consonant blends but we were just finishing consonant blends at the "beginning" of a work and now we are doing consonant blends at the "end of the word.  

We are being exposed to so many new words!  And Mark is doing great with sounding out words...

Nice note from OT...

We are probably not working today...there is no school.  Going to parent-teacher conference in a bit.  Got this nice note from Mark's Occupational Therapist...

Hi Denise,
I wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know that I am really enjoying working with M. over at the high school. We have been working on some typing and I am impressed with his skills.

I just wanted to let you know that M. is really a delight to work with. He has such great manners and is such a good listener. You guys have done such a wonderful job raising a great young man!

More consonant blends

snake in grass
plug in ipad

We finally finished Community Helpers on the Camp Discovery App!  Then, Mark did incredibly well on the Day of the Month program that we have been working on.  Lastly, Mark did not so good on the Attributes...I was getting so frustrated that I finally just stopped that and we went on to typing...I think maybe we will try to limit the Camp Discovery to 2 programs...and then maybe the Spelling Zap (which I love...makes Mark think more...)

Slow day...

...not sure if Mark is feeling well. He did not sleep last night and he seems in a good mood but it still makes me wonder...
