Day 4 of School, Day 1 of Homework

Frost received Homework today. As far as I can figure he is supposed to do:

* 20 minutes of his own reading [record page number start and end]
* 5 minutes of math-fact games [Frost was asked to work out his own plan to learn these.
He chose games and a mad minute practice test.
We actually played Flip for 20 minutes and Josh plans to play Math bingo with Frost tomorrow]
* 10 minutes of math worksheet practice [on the day's lessons]
* 10 minutes of WRITING in his journal [he can write whatever he likes]
* Practice on a wordlist of 20 words for a spelling test on Friday.

The words are:
hawk
author
fawcet
pause
daughter
withdraw
hauled
awfullly
unlawful
lawyer
strawberries
squawk
saucers
drawer
caution
vault
naughty
gnawing
awkward, and
exhaust

It is very hard to help Frost with homework while Wren tries to help Frost with homework. I ended up giving Wren a Diego while we worked it all out. Frost's major impediment is the lack of fluency in his writing. Still, he wrote a sweet entry in his journal:

TODAY
Today I'm looking at Wren. He drinks chai.
He wants Chai. I get Chai. I drink Chai.
Mum works on dinner. Its yummy. I like it.
