More academics
The academic ball keeps rolling. Worked for another 40 minutes or so with Hunter this afternoon. Today he decided he wanted to use his Count the Funny Bugs flashcards.
We went through 1-10, just looking at each card. Then I lined them up in proper order and would ask him "Where's three?" "Where's six?" and then he'd flip them over. Then we went through each card randomly and counted the bugs on the back.
Then we tried drawing numbers on scrap paper but he seemed to want to just scribble so I gave that up fast. Once again, favoring the righty.
We stopped and grabbed a snack of blueberries and came back for another crack at it. This time I grabbed 10 blocks of lego and would line those up and we counted those, starting with one and adding until we got to 10. That's what he's counting in this video:
Click to viewWe worked a little in his "Preschool Fun" workbook and got ten pages of that done, nothing too intense there. Mostly drawing, tracing and colouring work. He surprised me a bit knowing what shadows are. He's great at identifying matches and those "What's Missing" puzzles. We're learning about patterns too.
After all was said and done he got to pick a prize out of the prize box and picked one of the wormies which amused me (along with his earlier statement "I love bugs!" while working with the flashcards). I love bugs too. Gonna need to refill the box soon.
