10 pages in 3 minutes

Today was a pretty okay day for learning. I let his father take over the Math lesson to give me a break, and give him a feel for what I go through nearly every day! That took an hour, even with his father right next to him helping. The kid just DOESN’T want to do the work.

Then I gave him some pages that were to relax his brain before the next daunting task. He got 10 pages done in 3 minutes, and 17 pages in a total of 10 minutes. It was in a Pre-K/early K book and he nailed every page. Then I gave him the vocabulary page with color words and he did that more quickly than if i had just given it to him right after Math. I think his rythym is like mine. Hard work, brain rest, more hard work.

The number line did help him in the Math once he settled down and decided to listen to his father. We got a good amount of work done AND he learned more about perseverance, his new favorite word.
