Will and School

 William doesn't really like it when I tell him it's time to do school work. However, when I give him time to explore and work on his own he works wonderfully. He loves to create little machines with tape and rubber bands and other trinkets he finds. He has also become very creative with Legos. Will loves learning about dinosaurs and insects and has made his own books about them. He is interested in cooking and loves making and identifying patterns. He is slowly working on reading and really likes learning tricks (like the letters o and w say OW!) He really likes talking about doubles addition and skip counting by 2s, 3s and 4s. Some of his goals this year that he worked on and accomplished were to learn more about insects, read all of his of his Nora Gaydos books twice, learn how to do a flip on the trampoline and learn about place value to the hundreds.

 Lego fun!

 We learned about symmetry and he used these same pieces to create several different symmetrical arrangements. He also made all the numbers from 1 to 12 out of Legos. And then he created a brontosaurus, tyrannosaurus and together we made a triceratops and ankylosaurus.
