Kids
This morning, there is a lot of shooting.
Yesterday, Nephew and I figured out that the reason he'd pitched a fit in school was because they were asking him the same question over and over, and he didn't know it. Hope he'll remember that a better way to deal with it next time is to say, "I don't know that yet. I want to learn it."
Also learned what some of the problem with the numbers was. Practiced 2's with him: he had the bottom part down fine, but was drawing the top as a stick instead of a hook. 3's were trickier, and 5's worst of all. He kept writing 3 for 5 and being frustrated.
We finally figured it out, though. The way he did 3, it was the flat-top kind with the slanty line before the semicircle bottom, and 5 of course has a flat top with a semicircle bottom. Showed him a 3 and a 5 sitting next to each other, and circled where they were different, and he GOT it! We were both happy, and gave many 5's.
