The joy of learning

B and I did about 15workbook pages while M did his homework tonight. He is learning patterns and rhymes. He has mastered the patterns finally and we are trying to get better at rhymes. You never think how hard something is to first learn until you teach a 4yr old. It makes sense in YOUR brain but when you try to put it into their terminology it is pretty different. We've got phone number, address, counting to 100 by 10's, letters , sounds etc down. SOOOOO much more to always learn. M actually came home the other day and asked me what symmetry is. Again, you know what it is but when you have to explain it to a kid.....geesh. Where are the words? I still remember when M came home in kindergarten and was doing imperative sentences. I had to google it to make sure I was teaching him it right!
