We're getting back in the swing of school. Cedrik and Freddie both ask often if we are doing school the next day... I'm taking it as a compliment instead of feeling like I've been neglecting their learning. They have been learning... Just not the formal learning they are used to.
Since it's winter, I thought it was an appropriate time to learn a little about the ice age. Of course the animals were the biggest hit. Sabertooth tigers are the coolest thing in our house for the last week. Funny story: I was working with freddie on colors and asked him which color I was pointing to. He responded, "black, green, yellow, sabertooth." It was red. :)
We painted on ice and watched a documentary that they requested to watch again-very surprising. Painting on the ice turned into painting on skin. They both loved it.
Cedrik informed me that in his mind, he has different ways of seeing school. Coloring, painting, cutting, etc-work. Writing, reading, math, memorizing things-learning. Pretending-just fun. I need to write that on the fridge so I'll remember his order. Freddie is opposite, I think. ;)
