Friday November 8

Well I woke up today not being able to move my arms grrr.   I slept with my arms above my head, typically if this happens it's only 1 arm and I can use my other to move.  But no I couldn't move either hand, thankfully I am flexible and my feet still worked.  It took about an hour to regain feeling in my left arm and over 2 hours in my right... So we didn't go to tla this morning.  

So today we didn't do a lot school wise.  Nathan and I did flash card math.  I also got Nathan to count by 2 starting with 1 while he's playing mini hockey.  I would like to see both kids be able to really understand how to work numbers before we move on in math.  

Genevieve and I played an awesome new math game I bought while Nathan was at ot.  It's called mathological liar, Gigi loved it. 

On the backside if the cards is a mystery you have to solve.  Each mystery has 4 suspect cards.  You have to read the cards and figure out if they make sense.  If they are correct they didn't do it.  If there is a mistake, they did it. 

Here are 4 suspect cards, this was an easier puzzle to solve.  

What a fun way to do math, it involves a lot if reading and comprehension to do as well.  So this is probably not a good fit for a struggling reader.  I would think this may take the anxiety of word problems away from some kids though.  

Not sure what else we will do today...

Nate and Gigi practiced piano already and we went on YouTube and listened to different styles if music, opera, classic and boys choir.  Nathan and Genevieve enjoyed this.
