Day 2238. This was week 6 of school. The kids learned the letter "s" and had their second dictation on Friday that went better than the first one. The first time their issue had been that they weren't writing their letters on the right lines or the right size so we practiced that before their second dictation, and it paid off.

Day 2234. I was able to sleep in on Sunday and got up in time to make lunch. We ate at noon, then Randy and the kids got ready to leave the house. Just before 12:30 pm Randy left with Tammy and Emmy to take them to their maths club. I stayed home with Sammy. Randy returned at 1:30 pm, and at 2 pm I left to go pick them up.

Day 2231. The kids have completed week 5 at school. They have now learned their fifth letter which is "a" after having learned i, o, m and l. For the second Friday in a row, they have received a sheet with letters, syllables and words made up of those five letters that they have to read every day of the week.
