She is paying attention
After Serenas refusal to read "little house in the big woods" yesterday, and the way she seems to be ignoring me while i am reading I thought maybe She didnt like reading in these chapter books and I ought to just put it away. Then......Tonight we were taking clothes out of the dryer and somehow some pieces of her magnetics set (plastic rods with magnets on the ends and metal marble sized balls) got in there. I carefully took them out and set them on the table warning her "those are hot, be careful" I turned around to get more clothes out and promptly heard "ouch!" I noticed that she put her fingers in her mouth, just like in the book.........I looked at her as I put the clothes in the basket and she said to me "remember, laura and mary put their fingers in their mouth to cool them off after they touched the hot stuff their dad was making?"  I pretty much took the day off from school today. Kyle did a bit of math with her. It was really a psych experiment for him, but she learned too. He poured water into two small glasses of equal size asked her wich glass had more and she answered they are the same. he then took the contents of one of the glasses and pored it into ataller glass ,asked which one has more? As expected she answered the taller glass. He took it further and poured water into many different glasses and all and all concluded that although she will always answer the taller glass has more, she does know that a shorter fatter glass can hold more water because when he had a medium glass, and asked her what would happen if he poured it into the larger glass she said it would be fine, but when asked what would happen when he poured it into the smaller taller glass she said it would overflow, and fairly has a fit whenhe started pouring it in anyhow. even after this though, when he asked her which glass had more she answered the taller one. |
