Yesterday, we had our first official
Contenders for the Faith meeting. Jarek did a presentation on the
parts of an arrow, as the pin he's going for is Archery.
William's pin is for Wildlife, and he gave a presentation on our visit
to the Wildlife Ranch. I think the public speaking experiences
are going to be very valuable for the boys, and I'm thinking it would
be a lot of fun to use Thursday school, or at least part of it, to
write a play for the boys and me to perform for Crystal and Jonathan as
a surprise.
I went through the CAT-5 with William and the little stinker only
missed 2 on the whole thing. Apparently, he just got bored with
it while we were taking it. I guess I should have broken it up
more. That seems really obvious now that I look back on it.
It did take almost 2 1/2 hours. I gave them little breaks in
between sections, but not nearly enough. Probably just enough for
William to get distracted....yeah...I feel like a genius now. I
am relieved that he did understand it. We sat on the couch
together and went through the whole thing in 30 minutes. I feel
much better prepared to work on his attention span than I do to work on
test-taking skills. And he feels better knowing that he can
do the tests, he just has to pay attention!
I haven't done a "full" day of school in ages, but I really want to try
to tomorrow. Of course, that is one of my nanny days, so we'll
see what kind of luck I have. I need to be thinking about source
material for a play...I really like that idea. William and Jarek
are always role-playing when they play together, so it would be really
fun to have them put on a production.
