Sumo Wrestling with Dad



Terry and Hunter Sumo Wrestling

 Last night Hunter had a chance to Sumo Wrestle with Terry. As you can see, Hunter could barely stand in his sumo wrestling outfit. Two men had to pick him up and move him because he could not walk. Dad won the wrestling match with ease. We had fun.

After having a school meeting this weekend, Hunter and I have made some adjustments with school. He thought we were going a little too slow in math, so we are going to combine some lessons to keep the pace moving a little more to his liking.

He felt grammar was going to fast. Just in the last 1 1/2 weeks we have learned the 7 possessive pronouns, 7 subject pronouns and 7 object pronouns. Put this together with the 49 prepositions we've learned and it is just moving a little too fast. We are going to take a couple days to sit back and review everything so he can retain what he has learned. Hunter is doing great in grammar so I have no trouble slowing it down a little for him.

He thinks science is just a little too baby. I will say that there isn't a lot of action involved in our science cirriculum. he wants to learn about the elements, etc... and we are still planting seeds to study how plants grow. I am tempted to take a break fro the cirriculum and spend some time learning about things that are interesting to him. Not sure yet how to work through this.

Cursive is SOOOO boring to him! Right now we are copying paragraphs in cursive for practice using the Abeka cirriculum - he really doesn't like it. Not sure on this one. I know I want him to be able to read cursive (which he can). How important is it to me that he can write in cursive?  I'll have to take some time to think about how we can make this a little more exciting for him. Soem things in life you just have to get through.

Everything else seems to be moving along well and we are both happy with the pace.
