Well, last night was good and not so good. The not so good, DS really does not enjoy the picture and writing part of this curriculum. He is afraid that he "can't do it". I know that his fine motor skills are not where they should be. Anyone have ideas for helping this? He did however love the exercises set from the book. He also loved the fairytale for last night as well as the intro math story about the four gnomes. We will retell the story tonight and then draw the four gnomes (plus, minus, times, and divide) and give them their symbols. We might play with adding using items a bit. We will also be doing our nightly reading. We are working our way through McGuffey's Primer as well as level two Oxford reading tree books. I think DS likes the books for their colour and the primer for it's shortness!
take care!
