Train School (1st Grade) Week 1

This is Z train's official first year of school. We will have to report his progress from this point on to the state. They seem to think they have some sort of right to know. Grr. Anyway, this year we'll be stepping up his studies a bit. I plan to have him finish phonics this year and learn all the Dolch Sight Words. It will also be the beginning of his first history cycle, so he will be doing history and science with the big boys. Everything else he will be doing with me or independently.
