Alex loves his 'math' time with me. We don't actually do any math, but he calls it that because it's while Annie and Logan do their daily math review. He and I usually just color in a workbook. We don't worry about the directions right now. I took a picture of his coloring one day to show Jim how much progress he's made. He was scribbling just a few weeks ago, and now he's attempting to stay in the lines. Good job buddy!
Something else that has been going on is Annie's 'math tears'. It's sad, but sort of funny. She's been crying during her math review almost every day lately, but it's not because the math is hard for her. She cries because she doesn't like the way she writes her numbers! So she'll write a number, cry, erase it, cry, write it again, cry, erase it again, cry, etc. It goes on and on. She is a little perfectionist, and I'm having a hard time convincing her that her numbers don't have to be written perfectly!
I turned a mid-day bath into science time one day recently. We made a waterwheel and tried it out in the tub. The kids thought it was cool that the water could turn the wheel, and that real waterwheels can run machinery.
