Here's the project he did on October 14, forever to be known as the day he got in trouble for pushing at preschool:

The idea here is when you sneeze you get a tissue and cover your mouth.
Here are a couple of math worksheets from recent days:


Here is a fairly uninteresting letter practice. The thing that interests ME about it is how well he's staying in the lines and making his letters regular and even when he concentrates on it. I'm thinking about switching his spelling work to lined paper, but then he wouldn't have the fun of making the lines... I think maybe I should though:

Here is a spelling test from October 6 -- you can see he even put the date on it himself. :)

The words are as follows:
1: swim (again with the e/i thing)
2: fast
3: vest
4: at
5: clip
6: five
7: jim
8: benny
9: ten
10: stick
So there you are.
Here's a particularly interesting spelling test. Benny has been taking over more and more of the administering of these tests, and for this one (done today) he tasked himself to draw pictures instead of spell words, for 8 of the 10 questions:

Here are the words as he told them to me:
1: car
2: potty at the YMCA
3: potty with a tank
4: the original potty
5: tip (again the e/i thing)
6: our truck
7: a guy trying to flush a broken potty
8: this potty is all fixed and has a sink
9: Benny's potty
10: clip
Yes, it's odd, I give you that. But. I will never lose this document.
