How do you know when your child is really grasping the concept? Sometimes I really struggle with this, then God gives me a precious gift!

 We are using Day 5: Flying Creatures for science this year. Right now we are on the insect section and just finished the week on social insects. B and I did a huge unit on insects three years ago so I was wondering how much he would really listen to and want to learn. We are participating in a co-op so quitting isn't an option for us.

 Over the weekend I'm on the computer ( imagine that) when I notice the conversation between B and hubby. B was sharing all he knew about bees and the differences in them. Then he went on to tell him about ants and wasps. It was great!

 I learned a valuable lesson right then. Don't have low expectations for B and don't assume he won't learn anything new! It's in these moments that God lets me know that we all can continue learning, especially about His wonderful creation!

 By the way, did you know that man created the "Killer Bees'? It was an experiment gone bad! HMMM, makes you think!

Be blessed!

I hear ya on this one. I sometimes wonder just how much my ds learns too. But like you, I will be blown away by his explaining things just out of the blue. Sometimes it is things that I have forgotten that we learned a while back. They are little sponges for sure. Have a great day.
