Even though I am cautiously excited about this, I have to make a note about W's improvement already since last year. It has only been three days so I'm aware I am jumping the gun on boasting, but someday he will look at this blog and want to see some praise. :)
I must also add that today he had Chinese and he has barely shown any reluctance. A little here and there, but he is being quite cooperative, considering. Our little E has been down for a nap since we started and boy has that been great!
Here is a picture of part of his spelling assignment for today. At one point he asked for my help and I went over to him and saw this and said, "Woah, look at that handwriting, that is amazing!" He was so pleased with that reaction and started telling me how to write properly and even showed me the imaginary "middle line" where you start the lowercase letters.
I realize he did make some errors on the picture recognition, but I don't blame him, these pictures in this book can be misleading even for 30-year-old me.
W has been doing very well at Math too. I'm not sure if I find myself more patient, or he just answers more quickly, or he is just paying better attention. I do think he is more mature now and has learned and grown a lot over the summer.
I had his dad give him a priesthood blessing Sunday night for starting school and I am sure that has something to do with it as well.
Excellent! My prediction. One day your student will become a wealthy man who has helped many people be successful in business. He will have international influence and eventually become President of something.
