He never ceases to amaze me!
Started with a review of the USA and capitals today: not a problem. We moved on to some math questions: he didn't even flinch.
Next came the Antonymns (okay, where is the spell check?
): this was a word search puzzle and the only problem he had was with all of the letters! He actually told me (which is a milestone in itself 
). So, I took another piece of paper and covered up the majority of the letters and we went through it slowly. This also didn't hurt a thing because I was able to ask him what the antonymn for the word was if he still couldn't find it!
On the board for review today, was also science, weather, climate, mercury, thermometers, solar system, the ozone, barometers, history and enjoyable reading! Not to mention, pulling out the ol' dictionary when the need arose!
I'm just in awe! He retains so much information and craves even more - how fun! He even teaches me things!...lol.. - Seriously!
