May Progress Update

READING/LITERATURE
Trevor has been reading his choice of  HOP chapter books including Detective Dog, The Big Little Picnic, and Dr. Seuss.  He is reading his own quizzes with success in BrainPop Jr. and mad up his own game that resembles texting which he called Bingo Letters.  This is a fun way for him to practice a most difficult subject for him: writing. 
Trevor completed Reading Egg 100.
Trevor finished listening to "The Light at Tern Rock" read by me and 3 cd's from the fantasy novel "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" and Junie B. Jones First Grade- 1 cd.

Trevor practiced writing about a short visit with Grandparents, a visit to the hospital, a trip to the zoo, and how to make a jam sandwich.
Trevor enjoys rules application via Electric Company and has learned how to apply soft "g" and hard "g" rules.  This is exciting!

MATH
Trevor has completed Math lessons through Lesson 79 with good understanding.  Addition facts are much more fluent.  Hungry fish math app is a perfect practice for this. 
Trevor has completed ALL Kindergarten and FIRST GRADE curriculum and a total of 117 lessons in Dreambox.   He has completed 85% of problem solving for 2nd grade. 
I allow him to choose the next work and I can see his confidence building in the story problem section. This is good!

SCIENCE
Trevor studied turkey organs -- the heart and a foot,  solar systems, took a field trip to take x-rays of a fish and a rotisserie chicken, studied bears, visited the Discovery Center's Try This exhibit and read the Usborne book of Science.
He has already finished his Science Fusion curriculum.

SOCIAL STUDIES
We use Brain Pop Jr. and Library books as well as books from Sonlight curriculum and books recently purchased from IDEA's resource center. Trevor studied the history of the American Flag & Benjamin Franklin by book, Lewis and Clark by PBS DVD special, and Pablo Picasso, Eloise Greenfield, Rosa Parks, George Washington Carver, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Helen Keller by BrainPop.

HEALTH
Trevor is done with his Health and Fitness workbook.
