Before his first day of school, we made "kissing hands" in his class where we both placed our hands on a folder to make a heart shape, traced them, cut them out, and decorated them. It followed along with a book called the same thing and it talked a little bit about how a momma raccoon and her baby going to school.
In between the hands, Mrs. DeColli placed a picture of Michael and I from his orientation day.
Well, that came home today. Michael told me that when he saw it in his folder, "Mommy, I sniffed and I missed you so much. I wanted you to play with me at school."
Awww....
That same boy is now playing in the iPad and couldn't care less where I am right now!
Today is "Friday" as Michael has off from school tomorrow!!! YIPPPEE!!!
On another exciting note - last Saturday, September 22 - Michael showed me that he can multiply.
Nothing too high...but definitely the smaller numbers.
He knows anything multiplied by 0 equals 0.
Anything multiplied by 1 equals itself.
He got correctly: 2x8=16
Also: 4x2 = 8
Also: 3x3 = 9
Also: 3x4 = 12
Also: 5x2 = 10
From the top of his head, without using fingers. He just thinks about it and blurts out the answer.
So yes, he can do arithmetic. But lately we've been working on more word problems and trying to apply these concepts instead of being able to just recite them.
