Trying to TELL him the story didn’t really work, so I had to find a way to show him. Thanks to GodTube I found the PERFECT adaptation for my son:
Yesterday my son got an impromptu lesson from his father on how to fix a DVD player and a VCR. He got a good look at the inner workings, and was allowed to help screw bolts into place. They played the historic Samurai game again, too. Today we talked about the Vascular system. He wanted [...]
Today he finally got the hang of the knit stitch. I found a way for him to do continental style that matches the way his brain works. He did a full row of 8 stitches by himself, 7 of which were flawless. He is looking forward to doing more another day. This video helped him, [...]

Technically, he really is in early 2nd grade. I had a feeling he was, but never checked till then. The only things we [...]
We continued our practice of regrouping and carrying numbers on http://www.dositey.com this afternoon. We also worked on phonics, since it seems that he is still getting mightily confused on his D/B and long/short vowels. It’s tiring, but worth it.
