Nathan was a little hard to get to sit still in his chair, but we made it through.
We started with a fall themed notebook. First up fall math sheet, it was a good review. Next up poetry, we read a few poems and then thought of fall words, we then wrote down rhyming words for them. I really thought Nathan would enjoy this one, but he wasn't into this today. Genevieve came up with some pretty good ones though. I plan to get them to draft a poem tomorrow.
We played our new math game snap it up again today. Nathan struggles with math worksheets, but he was quickly adding and subtracting up to 3 numbers at a time to try and see if he could come up with the answer. It really showed me how much he hates sitting in a structured place, his math anxiety, and that he hates writting. Not sure which one influences his dislike of math worksheets, but hopefully this math game will get him over it. It is painful for me to get him to do math worksheets, but I know he needs the practice. The game will also benefit genevieve as, she is a little slower at the game, she is pretty fast at worksheets though!
Next up was piano. Nathan put up a stink about piano, his neck hurt too much to play, it hurt to sit etc. I massaged his neck for 1/2 then insisted he play. He practiced about 20 minutes, once he gets into playing you can see he likes it.
Genevieve practices piano pretty faithfully and really enjoys practicing, I definitely don't have to ask her to practice, she practices several times a day.
