The Colorado Adventure

Yesterday was a blur.

We did school and Hannah spent the entire time “painting” on the water pad. You’re supposed to use the water marker, but I lost it. However, a glass of water and paintbrush works just as well. She covered the whole pad and then waited for it to dry. That might keep her occupied for days! Joel had a math elluminate session. Mr. Tomko was very funny and engaging. He was asking the kids to write equations (not solve them) and when Joel got it right he said, ‘great job, Joel’ when Joel got it almost right he asked Joel to think about the problem and write it again. Later in the session Joel did a problem and Mr. Tomko asked, “is it that easy?’ Joel thought maybe he had it wrong, but Joel typed back, ‘yes, it’s that easy!’ and he was right. I think the positive interaction with someone besides me is helpful (I’m not always the nicest person when you get a math problem wrong and I think you should get it right.) Joel has a science lesson online tomorrow, but I think he wants to do another math; good for him.

The afternoon went like this: Dance, dance, doctor (for Grace were trying to head off a full blown RAD attack), wal-greens, library, home, dinner, CAP, wal-mart, pick up Joel from CAP, home. It was very nice to go to bed.
