Learning

Aric is an avid learner.  As he was getting ready for school this morning, he asked me when his math flash cards would arrive in the mail.  I don't know any other kid who is excited about math flashcards arriving in the mail.

Aric's world was rocked today when we realized we did not carefully go through his new sight words last night. He was certain this new word is pronounced "now".  I've never seen him get so angry and refuse to let go of a flash card. 

It took some time and a phone call to daddy, but we finally got him past the word and onto something else.  Tonight we will have to go through the words again to make sure we are past this mispronunciation.

Note to self: Always look at the flash card even when it seems Aric is pronouncing the word correctly.
