Odd numbers and progress generally

Yesterday Amy built a 1-100 magnetic board where she could easily identify even and odd numbers. She enjoyed working with the magnets and doubling figures (1+1=2, until 50 + 50 = 100). Today she built the board again, but this time we concentrated on odd numbers. She easily followed the pattern e.g. if 2 + 2= 4, then 2+3 = 5, 3+4= 7, 4+5 = 9 etc. I pray that is insight will continue and that she will be able to remember bonds better.

Walking is still a bit of a problem - she is a bit lazy, but a star chart helps.

We spent quite a bit of time on creating Excel data charts: the highest temperature of the month, the lowest, the number of sunny days etc. She was very charmed with copying of worksheets and renaming them and then making the few necessary alterations to the sheet. I want her to be able to use the computer as much as possible and am amazed at how fast she learns to use new methods.
