Jonathan & school

Jonathan is doing well in school. He seems to like science the best. Which I find interesting because I didn't do well in science! He is about 3 weeks ahead. We start a section and he wants me to read the whole section. The next day, I ask him the questions and he manages to get them all correct. He is not especially fond of math. When he applies himself and concentrates, he does really well. He is getting better at handwriting-again once he settles down and concentrates. On Wednesdays, he gets ready to go to Grandma and Grandpa's house to spend the night. We patiently go through our school routine waiting for Grandpa's call to let us know he is coming to get Jon. Then Jonathan proceeds to go berserk as he agian is waiting! Thursday is Jon's special day with Grandma. Grandma teaches Jon art and music. Also, he goes to a reading program at the library down the road from their house. There are 3 other children and the read a story, have a snack and do a craft. Perfect! Jonathan has opened up a little bit and is even talking to others. A big step for him. Every other Thursday is Trail Tales at Beaver Lake Nature Center. Jonathan gets to listen to stories about an animal, sometimes see a stuffed one and then go on a nature walk. Sometimes he has a full day because I will send his math and maybe some other work for him. In the end, he comes home just as hyper as when he left and gets ready to prepare for a new day.
