Grandparents, Gravity, Goodies, and Dessine

Will complete this entry when I have the mind to get all the images together.   Tinker Crate with Grandpa – they did the fiber optics constellations and the defy gravity game Grandpa tuned the piano and Lily has become fascinated with not only playing but watching the mechanics. Today she stated she’s going to […]

Math

When I look at the expectations of arithmetic and numeracy development for a child between 5 and 10, first to sixth grade, and even beyond, with few exceptions of specifics, Lily demonstrates regularly her comprehension and functional use of the concepts that are expected of these years in conventional schooling. Then, I look beyond these […]
