I gave Nathan some math worksheets to show him how much easier it is for him now :). It was going so well until he was 4 worksheets in and got to the subtracting 9 trick. It is so frustrating that he gives up as soon as he thinks it's hard. I told him he could stop there. Not sure how we will get around this mind block he has set up for himself. I know I have to build up his confidence. I know it took 4 years if public school to knock at how he feels, I just hope it won't take me 4 years to overcome this:).
So we stepped away from math and Nathan and I worked on grammer island, of what protestations I had when we first started, he said it was to easy it was boring, but I knew it was not, it was foreign territory for him, he wanted to shut down. We managed to work through quite a bit and he became quite ingaged in what he was learning.
We have dental appointments and cheer later today so not sure how much more schooling we will get accomplished today
Here is a story Genevieve worked on today.
Oh and another I found she did last night at bedtime
Did Genevieve just write the Science writing from memory? That's awesome!
