More work on the mathematics timeline. Younger Boy is still not enrolled in math...just mathematics. Every time he corrects me it makes me smile.
Today he needed to draw the pictures associated with each of the events. Ms. W helped him to create a "happier" timeline last week during school therefore making it a bit easier to work on the project.
He got wrapped up in the picture drawing...until he got to needing to draw a picture of a baby. For whatever reason he INSISTED that it needed to be printed from the computer. That's fine, but for whatever reason we couldn't get anything to print. The whole thing isn't due until Friday, but this has now become all about this baby picture and less about the rest of the assignment. I suspect it is because that is the part he can wrap his brain around.
Today he got another assignment...for another class. This time he has to write about his favorite birthday party as a child. Really? Come on people? More tears. I was able to convince him that you are still a child (because you are) at age 11 so his first birthday party with me would count. He could write about that.
I can't wait until these beginning of the year assignments are past us and you don't have to do "getting to know you" assignments.
Prayers for wisdom in how to talk to him about these things. Prayers for peace for him as he works through how to handle these types of assignments.
