All's well. Could not blog yesterday and most of today because of computer/internet difficulties, but everything is sorted out. Jonty is on track with all his work and enjoying it all.
He likes maths when we play games, especially games with the dice, especially games that he wins.
Ask him what is 10 more than 6 and he sighs and groans. Roll the dice and ask him what's ten more than the number he's rolled (6) and he's keen and eager to shout out "16". Yippee.
I won't report on the details of the last 5 lessons, but I had to laugh at his story about his jobs and how he feels about them:
"My job's"
I open and closs the gate. I do not like it.
I get water at supper time. I don't mind doing it.
I have to tidy my drawer. I have to tidy my unduwer. I love it!
LOVE the spelling of "unduwer"
Otherwise, no problems, all according to the schedule. And the last two days have been good in terms of me being pretty cool, calm and collected - if I do say so myself! i do also think that his maths IS improving i.e. he is thinking a bit more and using that brilliant brain of his.
