Finally something harder mom!

This is what Jonathan told me today as we finally finished up all the review work on addition and subtraction and are finally onto multiplication. We touched on the concept briefly last year and he was excited by it and then very frustrated that we had to review all that boring stuff again with the new math course so we sort of raced through that and we are finally rewarded with the good stuff according to Jonathan.

Also I can proudly report that we have finally hit that magic 90% in Phonics so his Language Arts 2 is being ordered for him. Once we finish up this phonics (hopefully in the next 2wks), we won't be doing the concentrated phonics any more but will be simply working on improving fluency by reading together. A much more enjoyable way to go about it.

Yep, Jon's a math wiz. I wonder where he gets that from? she says remembering a certain math wiz when she was in 2nd/3rd grade. You know why they bumped you. Between Reading and Math you really didn't need 2nd grade.

PS I'm sure Jon would have done 3rd grade reading too if his language problems hadn't gotten in the way. Now that he can read, Look Out!
