Plugging along at Social Studies and Self awareness. Ironically Joey is developing some behavior issues that im NOT pleased with.  Im sure they are just average 7 yr old boy actions but still... Im trying to nip it in the bud so to speak.

For example he can use a fork an spoon proficiently but is determined to eat everything with his hands. This makes a huge mess with foods like salad and spaghetti.   His vocabulary leaves a bit to be desired as well.  He is a bit too concerned with bodily funtions for my liking.  He is becoming very argumentative and cranky.   For example just now he continued to make a mess in the bathroom and make loud banging noises with a ball.  He lost the ball and needed to put it in the trash.  It will be gone for good.  I was met with a glare that could kill.

So this seems like a good time to start our "Self Awareness" lessons.   We are also focusing on 2nd grade social studies which is covering groups of people and neighborhoods, again bringing up ideas about differences etc.   I hope to have 2nd grade completed by the holidays so we can move toward 3rd grade in 2008.

I am lacking the patience to foucs on handwriting and I am lacking the funds for a class.  I am hoping this improves with practice.

Next week I will be going back to making a schedule of work for Joey. Hoping that will lead him back into the mind frame of work must be done daily.
