This day started off much better. I was informed that we need to start each school day with calender. And so we did. We talked about the day of the week it was and the date. This is part of the routine at school and he wants it to continue.
After that we did some math. He was much more cooperative than she was. He wanted to do some multiplication as well as my review work. And so he did. And so it goes.
The next thing I know they are working together to put a gingerbread house together. I had bought it for Christmas, but it got lost in the shuffle. The little woman found it today and was not going to take no for an answer. What amazed me was how well they did work together on it. And their interactions with each other. There was no pouting, whining or fighting.
We then decided we needed to get outside and went to Marshall Park. And a lot of energy got burned off. The little man was dripping with sweat when we left. Always good for him.
I had a thought today that perhaps the push back I have been having this week is again due to the change. Change is hard and I forget. Even while this may be what they want, it is still a transition. So today we are breathing and working on our work.
