Yes, I did. I had him on YouTube this morning looking at different clips of Bugs Bunny classics like “Kill the Wabbit”. He loves classic cartoons and classical music, so I figured why not? Learning has to be fun sometimes or both of our heads would explode. His favorite was my favorite: Presenting What’s Opera [...]

Well tonight we got an impromptu follow up to the penguin learning session. March of the Penguins is on tonight. It just came on the Animal Planet channel. My son is engrossed already.

My son had the wind of inspiration with him yesterday as he breezed through about six pages of his new workbook from Brighter Vision and helped me make stand up animal cutouts. He was still asking for more workbook pages when I got tired! His phonics skills are getting stronger. He only made a few [...]

He hasn’t been too into working in his books, only his video games. Reader Rabbit Bouncedown to Balloontown is his favorite. It is teaching him relational things like big, bigger, biggest. He has a good grasp of that. He decided to write his numbers in one of his workbooks. He also came to me to [...]
