It's been a very hot and humid day and as I write this post, the afternoon sky is an eerie shade of yellow, thunder is rumbling in the distance and the rain coming down has just turned into hail stones. I can hear them bouncing off the tin roof. The air is heavy and sticky. The humidity has made it hard to concentrate today and because Sam and I are a bit under the weather right now, pardon the pun, I cut his lessons back and after we had a late lunch, I let Sam watch the YouTube kids' channels for a while. His favourites are Pancake Manor and StoryBots. Actually, I quite enjoy watching them too.

| After we watched Alphablocks' ABC video, it was time for some new Sight Words. Sam's cutting skills are getting much better too. |
 |
| Sam recognised four out of the six straight away and with some help breaking down the letter sounds, he got the final two - went, and. This is a big step forward for him. In this activity, Sam is looking for the Sight Words (I've started calling them Cool Words) in the sentences and highlighting them. |
 |
| Sam went a little crazy with the highlighter pen. He circled the words and then gave himself a big tick. Well, he did get them right, so fair enough. |
 |
| Next we looked at long /e/ words. The only word he didn't know was 'jeans'. |
 |
| Then we played the long /e/ picture and word matching game. He got them all without my help. |
 |
| Awesome job Sam! |
