Another Day

My son has really come a long way in the last six months. It has been wonderful to note his accomplishments.

This is the first he has had a formal report card (5th grade). This last one he made First Honors. It was priceless to see his reaction and his pride. He was so happy - he completed all his homework in record time that night.

One book that has really started to have an impact is "Different Like Me". The book talks about various life achievers like Einstein. My son feels very connected to the description of Arthur Turing. Who invented the Turing Machine (computers). He understands what some of the people in the book have accomplished so its been motivating for him.

I think everyday is a struggle for him to put out the knowledge he has inside. From simple equations to complex assignments, like reports. Like being stuck on 2+5, 2+5, 2+5. We have come up with several ways to draw out his answers etc.. and usually by trial and error.

Writing is a CHALLENGE. He has a very hard time writing. He has a little keyboard for writing assisgnments, but its not large enough for reports. We are working on getting him his own laptop which will not only hold his school work but also special programs to further develop his typing, writing, math skills. See http://hopeezinetoday.com/facts.html. My son really gets into deciding what to put on his page. He wants people to take the quizzes he puts on his page.

Well I am ending here with this. You can find Different Like Me at Amazon through our site:http://hopeezinetoday.com/Amazon.html - Just type it in the search spot and you will be taken directly to Amazon to that product.
