N. just finished week 9 in MTMM. I sound like a broken record, but things are still going along smoothly. He enjoys everything in the guide for the most part. He isn't real thrilled with the Presidents DVD, but I am not sure why. He says he just doesn't like documentaries, which is true. I find it very interesting. I do watch it with him even though it is an Independent box. He is still getting the hang of picking out the vital information from a video so I just sit and watch it and wait to see what he is going to jot down in his notes. Sometimes he will watch almost the entire thing without writing anything down so then I have to pause it and ask him if he thinks anything they have said is worthy of notes. I figure this is just all part of training him. He is requiring less intervention from me each week.
In Science he is now doing the book The Elements and is really liking this. He seems to retain information from this book well also. Most likely it is all the activities he does as a follow up to the reading. We played a Make 5 game this week so he could learn about how elements combined to make different minerals.
In story time we finished reading Mama's Bank Account, which had to be one of our favorite books that we have done together. Now we are reading Angel on the Square that takes place in Russia during the last years of the Romanov's.
One day he was supposed to go outside for his Nature Journaling. I offered to just let him look out a window since it was cold, but he went wanted to do what the book said and go outside.
