Light bulbs
William has had a few light bulb moments
this week in spite of my lack of time/motivation to do structured
school with him. The concepts of 10s and 1s has really
clicked. I was working and he was playing "Master and Commander"
(he loves ships) and narrating constantly like he always does. I
was tuning him out like I usually do, when I caught "So how many ships
is that?"
"How many ships is what?" I asked.
"10 ships plus 11 ships."
"Well, how many tens in 11?"
"One ten and 1 extra....oh...wait I know...it's 21."
"Right! Good job!" Then I went back to work and he went
back to playing and talking (he's started trying to use a British
accent when talking for the sailors...it's really cute) until I heard
"So how many does that make?"
"What?"
"10 + 10 + 11"
"Well..."
He interrupts and says, "Nevermind. I know. It's 31."
It's so fun to watch them really make a concept their own.
