Jan. 30, 2006 - Getting it... |
DS4 has been making so many little connections recently. For the files:
We were reading the chemistry textbook (Real Science 4 Kids Pre-level
chem), and it was about acids and bases. It was teaching how an
acid has an H group, and a base has an OH group. He looked at the
drawing and said: Oh, if the H went and joined the OH, it would
be water!
This is from DH, so hopefully I relay it correctly. They were
reading a Bible story, and DH was explaining it as "we love
Jesus". E interrupted and said "but I love God!" DH said "oh, Jesus is
God," and E replied with this: Oh, that's right. God the
Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Three in one.
We really have no idea where he learned that.
This evening he looked at the clock on the stove and said "Oh, it's 5 o'clock. That also means it is 17 o'clock."
We also started learning about division in his math (Singapore 1B right
now), and he really gets it. Looking at a group of 10 objects, I
asked "There are two plates. How many would go on each
plate?" He looked at it, and then looked up at me and
grinned. Five!
We're enjoying our work together. We finished "The Story of Dr.
Doolittle", and he really enjoyed it. We started "In Grandma's
Attic", another book that makes me nostalgic, because I loved that
series when I was young. He's finding it fun, he especially
thought it funny that little girls would put hoops in their dresses.
