Boring

Been a busy few weeks. We've established a good routine here and are working on Math, ELA, and Science everyday using workbooks and worksheets. I picked up workbooks for Social Studies and Geography as well so we will put them in the mix as well. I got a great deal at Michael's in canvases so we've been painting a lot. He also found my camera and has been taking a million photos. Connor has really taken a huge interest in basketball, just in time for March Madness! He picks up on the language and the rules so quickly - maybe he has a future as a sportscaster. Hockey is still a huge deal in our house though!

Our biggest challenge at this point is that Connor is SOOO BORED because his work is SOOO BORING! The workbooks are all first, second, third grade level but he isn't challenged. I don't want to keep skipping up because I'm afraid we will miss fundamentals and make it more difficult for him down the road. I feel really blessed that he picks up on stuff quickly and that he is so far above grade level in most subjects. It gives me a huge buffer for determining where we should be in each subject, as well as time to work on the social and communication skills where he is lagging.

And speaking of social skills, we started attending a very small (2-3 kids) play group class to work on social skills with a therapist. We will reassess after the fifth class (he's had two already).
