He has that leappad Globe that talks and play games, etc. Yesterday he informed me " Laos is in Asia " And he went on to name all the " stans " looks at me and says " WHAT??? " He is in heaven learning about all the countries, and continents, etc. I've also been hearing a lot about state birds. Kerri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 This is Savannah with math. It is scary. We didn't have a dx for her until she was almost 6. She was unteachable until the age of 7. She is now 8 and *should* be in 3rd grade but since I should have waited a year to start schooling her since she wasn't ready at 5 (stupid state laws here, you really have to go out of your way to prove that your child isn't ready for school at 5 where you can wait a year to enroll them, I didn't worry about much since we are homeschooling but I did have to enroll her as a homeschool student and I made up crap to show that she was doing school work and making progress) I only place her in 2nd grade. Here is the thing. In that year and a half she has come up to a 5th grade math level! It's spooky. And she can read at about a second grade level. More than I can say for Atlanta who just doesn't want to learn anything. Georga what a kid > > The child has a HIDEOUS time with reading comprehension homework. ALWAYS choosing the wrong title for the little paragraph, never goes back to read the paragraph again for the answers, etc. Getting him to DO his communications homework is sheer torture. > > Science is worse. He has no idea what they're asking him to do -- and frankly, sometimes neither do I. > > But the other day, we bought a second-grade math workbook for him because that's his skill level. He looked at it and said, " I'm in grade one, I can't do grade TWO work. " " Yes, you can, " I said. " Just look inside. " That was three days ago. This morning, he turned OFF the playstation and sat there before school happily doing math problems. He's up to adding three numbers, in his head, faster than I can. Like 8+9+3. And he's enjoying it. It's PLAY for him! > > What a strange child. > > Jacquie > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
